  • Collapse resistant hose and the manufacture of the same
    Patent number: 10088080
    Abstract: Manufacturing a collapse resistant hose arrangement includes fabricating a hose around a flexible conduit having a spiral-wound interlock configuration. Fabricating the hose includes extruding a first polymer layer over the flexible conduit; cooling the first polymer layer; extruding a second polymer layer over the first polymer layer after the first polymer layer has cooled to form a core tube around the flexible conduit; and extruding an outer sheath around the core tube. In certain examples, the first polymer layer is sufficiently thin as to not flow into an interfering relationship with the spiral-wound interlock configuration of the flexible conduit during cooling.
