Benefits of technology

[0015]And, it is found out in the subsequent research that when the prepressurizing process is applied to a composite hose before active use as stated above, durability against repeated internal pressures is improved, but on the other hand, there is a fact that durability against repeated bendings is lowered after all. In some cases, lowered durability against repeated bendings causes inconvenience.
[0029]In the composite hose according to the present invention or the composite hose made in the method according to the present invention, there occurs no damage such as bursting even if used for a long term in the environment where high pressure is exerted repeatedly by an internal fluid. Further, the method for making a composite hose according to the present invention provides an advantage to reduce nonuniformity of durability of the composite hoses as restraining functions are kept uniform when the corrugated metal tubes are plastically deformed even if the reinforcing layers have nonuniform restraining functions.

Problems solved by technology

By the way, after the inventors precisely investigated fatigue crack of the corrugated metal tube, it is found out that repeated internal pressures tend to cause a crack on the tops of the corrugation hills resulting in a fatigue crack of the corrugated metal tube, while repeated bending deformations based on flexibility of the corrugated metal tube tends to cause a crack in bottoms of the corrugation valleys resulting in a fatigue crack of the corrugated metal tube.
In some cases, lowered durability against repeated bendings causes inconvenience.

Embodiment Construction

[0047]FIG. 1 shows a first composite hose with a corrugated metal tube (wherein a corrugate metal tube is not plastically deformed yet) according to the present invention. A first composite hose with a corrugated metal tube 1 (hereinafter referred to just as a first hose 1) comprises a corrugated metal tube 7 as an inner peripheral portion, an outer peripheral portion 9 which is provided on an outer side of the corrugated metal tube 7, a metal insert fitting 11 which is shaped a pipe. The corrugated metal tube 7 integrally has a corrugated portion 3 which is formed with corrugation hills and corrugation valleys and straight-wall portions 5, 5 which are formed on opposite ends of the corrugated portion 3. The insert fitting 11 is inserted in each of the straight-wall portions 5, 5 of the corrugated metal tube 7. The first hose 1 further comprises sleeve-like socket fittings 19, 19. Each socket fitting 19 integrally has a tubular portion 13 and an inwardly-directed flange 15 which is ...

Abstract

A composite hose is constructed to have an outer peripheral portion and an inner peripheral portion. The outer peripheral portion includes an elastic layer and a reinforcing layer provided on an outer periphery of the elastic layer. The inner peripheral portion includes a corrugated metal tube which is provided with a corrugated portion formed with corrugation his and corrugation valleys. A distance between the reinforcing layer and tops of the corrugation hills of the corrugated metal tube is designed 0.27 mm or less.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a Continuation-In-Part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 091,732, entitled COMPOSITE HOSE WITH A CORRUGATED METAL TUBE AND METHOD FOR MAKING THE SAME, filed on Mar. 28, 2005.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates to a composite hose with a corrugated metal tube which is adapted for plumbing in automobiles or the like, and a method for making such a composite hose.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Typical rubber hoses, for example, made of a blend of acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber and polyvinyl chloride (NBR / PVC blend) or fluoro rubber (FKM) which is excellent in resistance to gasoline permeability, have been used for conveying fuel (fuel such as gasoline for engine) for automobiles or the like in view of their high vibration-absorbability, easy assembling or the like. However, for the purpose of global environment protection, the regulations have been recently tighten against permeation of fuel for automobiles or the like,...
