No. 15/140,435 filed Apr. 27, 2016, the disclosures of which are all herein incorporated by reference.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a section of hose in a first state having a first color contrast;

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the same section of hose in FIG. 1 in a second state wherein this same section of hose has a different color contrast for a different configuration of that same section of hose in FIG. 1;

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a section of hose in a first state having a first color contrast pattern;

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the same section of hose in FIG. 3 in a second state wherein this same section of hose has a second color contrast pattern for a different configuration of that same section of hose in FIG. 3;

FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a section of hose in a first state showing a hose having a first color contrast pattern; and,

FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the same section of hose in FIG. 5 in a second state wherein this same section of hose has a second color contrast pattern for a different configuration of the same section of hose in FIG. 5.

The density of stippling in FIGS. 1, 3 and 5 represent a color that may be any color.

The density of stippling in FIG. 2 illustrates a different color contrast than the color of FIG. 1.

The density of stippling in FIG. 3 represents a first color contrast pattern that may be composed of any color.

The different densities of stippling in FIG. 4 represent a second color contrast pattern where the second color contrast pattern is different than the first color contrast pattern in FIG. 3.

The density of stippling in FIG. 5 represents a first color contrast pattern that may be composed of any color.

The different densities of stippling in FIG. 6 represent a second color contrast pattern where the second color contrast pattern is different than the first color contrast pattern in FIG. 5.

The uniformly broken lines in FIGS. 1-6 depict unclaimed environment.

The appearance of the transitional image sequentially transitions between the images in FIGS. 1-6. The process or period in which one image transitions to another forms no part of the claimed design.

The various densities of stippling shown in the first and second states depict a color contrast as shown.

The color changing hose is shown with a symbolic break in its length. The appearance of any portion of the color changing hose between the break lines forms no part of the claimed design.

Claims

The ornamental design for a color changing hose, as shown and described.
