Publication number: 20110082442Abstract: The length of a reinforced tube that is made of a fluid-tight tube with an external helical support structure and an elastomeric material disposed at least in the trough between successive turns of the helical support can be adjusted by peeling a strip of the elastomeric material away from the trough. This renders a portion of the helical support structure usable as an external thread, after which an internally threaded structure can be screwed down onto the helical support structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2010Publication date: April 7, 2011Inventors: Kenneth S.
