  • Patent number: 9360137
    Abstract: The invention relates to a garden hose with at least one cover layer. The aim of the invention is to improve the grip of the hose relative to the hand of the user and/or on a connection to a connecting element via a compression-type fitting. For this purpose, a relief structure is produced on an outward surface of a cover layer of the hose. The relief structure can substantially improve the haptic impression and/or, when the connection is tight, bring about an interlocking or at least semi-interlocking engagement of retaining elements of a connecting element with the relief structure and substantially increase the retaining force which prevents the hose end from accidentally slipping off the connecting element.

  • Publication number: 20140338774
    Abstract: The invention relates to a garden hose (GS) with at least one cover layer. The aim of the invention is to improve the grip of the hose relative to the hand of a user and/or on a connection to a connecting element (SK) via a compression-type fitting (UM, HK). For this purpose, a relief structure (RS) is produced on an outward surface of a cover layer (M21) of the hose (GS). Said relief structure (RS) can substantially improve the haptic impression and/or, when the connection (UM) is tight, bring about an interlocking or at least semi-interlocking engagement of retaining elements (HK) of a connecting element (SK) with the relief structure (RS) and substantially increase the retaining force which prevents the hose end from accidentally slipping off the connecting element (SK).
