(57) [Problem] To provide a flexible hose which has a simple structure, can change its shape by applying an external force, and can maintain the changed shape when the external force is removed. SOLUTION: An internal space 16 of a hose body 12 to which a connecting member 14 is fixed at one end accommodates a linear shape holding member 18 which is irreversibly deformed. One end of the shape holding member 18 is fixed to the connection member 14 and the other end is a free end. Thus, when an external force is applied to the hose body 12 to bend the hose body 12 and thereafter the external force is removed, the shape holding member 18 can maintain the bent shape against the return force of the hose body 12.
Description
【0001】[0001]
本考案は、空間中において任意の形を保つことができるフレキシブルホースに 関する。 The present invention relates to a flexible hose that can maintain an arbitrary shape in a space.
【0002】[0002]
従来から、水等の液体や、空気やガス等の気体を送るためのホースは、どのよ うな場所にも通過できるように、一般にフレキシブルな素材から成っている。ホ ースの種類によっては、例えば高圧ホース等には、その両端面に雄ネジや雌ネジ 等の接続手段が取り付けられている。 Conventionally, hoses for sending liquids such as water and gases such as air and gas have generally been made of a flexible material so that they can pass through any place. Depending on the type of hose, for example, a connection means such as a male screw or a female screw is attached to both ends of a high-pressure hose or the like.
【0003】[0003]
ホースの一端が床や地面よりも高位置にある時には、ホースはフレキシブルな ため、何かの支持部材でホースの先端付近を支持しなければならず、支持部材を 準備しなければならない。また、ホースを空間中で自由な形状に保持したい場合 が発生するが、ホースがフレキシブルなため、ホースを空間中で自由な形状に保 持することができないという欠点があった。 When one end of the hose is higher than the floor or ground, the hose is flexible and some support must be used to support the end of the hose near the end, and a support must be provided. In addition, there is a case where it is desired to keep the hose in a free shape in a space, but there is a disadvantage that the hose cannot be kept in a free shape in a space because the hose is flexible.
【0004】 本考案は上記の点に鑑みてなされたもので、外力を加えることによって形を変 化させ、外力を除去すると変化した形を保つことができるフレキシブルホースを 提供することを目的とする。[0004] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a flexible hose that can change its shape by applying an external force and maintain the changed shape when the external force is removed. .
【0005】[0005]
上記目的を達成するために本考案は、ホース本体の一端に接続部材を固定し、 前記ホース本体の内部空間に非可逆性に変形する線状の形状保持部材を収容し、 その非可逆性に変形する線状の形状保持部材の一端を前記接続部材に固定すると 共に他端を自由端とするようにしたものである。 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention fixes a connecting member at one end of a hose body, and accommodates a linear shape holding member that is irreversibly deformed in an inner space of the hose body. One end of the deformable linear shape holding member is fixed to the connection member, and the other end is a free end.
【0006】[0006]
次に、本考案に係るフレキシブルホースを図面に基づいて説明する。 図1は本考案に係るフレキシブルホースの一実施形態を示す断面図、図2は本 考案に係るフレキシブルホースを曲げた状態を示す断面図である。本考案のフレ キシブルホース10は、ホース本体12と、その本体12の一端に固定される接 続部材14と、ホース本体12の内部空間16に収容されるものであって接続部 材14に一端を固定する非可逆性に変形する線状の形状保持部材18とから成る 。非可逆性に変形する線状の形状保持部材18は、例えば曲げ方向の力を加える と力に応じて曲がり、力を除去すると曲がった形状をそのまま保持するものであ る。形状保持部材18は、形状保持部材18を曲げた場合に、元に戻ろうとする ホース本体12の力に抗して、曲げた状態を保持する太さや素材とする。形状保 持部材18の太さは、例えば直径3〜5ミリ程度が望ましいが、太さはこれに限 るものではない。形状保持部材18の素材は銅が望ましいが、銅や金属に限るも のではない。 Next, the flexible hose according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing an embodiment of the flexible hose according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing a state in which the flexible hose according to the present invention is bent. The flexible hose 10 according to the present invention includes a hose body 12, a connection member 14 fixed to one end of the body 12, and a connection member 14 housed in an internal space 16 of the hose body 12. And an irreversibly deformable linear shape holding member 18 for fixing the shape. The linear shape retaining member 18 that deforms irreversibly bends in response to a force in the bending direction, for example, and retains the bent shape when the force is removed. The shape holding member 18 is formed of a thickness or a material that holds the bent state against the force of the hose body 12 that attempts to return to the original state when the shape holding member 18 is bent. The thickness of the shape maintaining member 18 is preferably, for example, about 3 to 5 mm in diameter, but the thickness is not limited to this. The material of the shape maintaining member 18 is preferably copper, but is not limited to copper or metal.
【0007】 接続部材14は、例えば雄螺子や雌螺子やノズル付き金具等があるが、これら に限るものではない。接続部材14とホース本体12とは、カシメによって固定 するが、固定方法はこれに限るものではない。非可逆性に変形する線状の形状保 持部材18の一端を筒状の接続部材14に溶接等で固定する。フレキシブルホー ス10の長さのどの位置においても曲げなどの形状を保持できるようにするため に、形状保持部材18の長さはホース本体12の長さとほぼ同じ長さにするのが 望ましい。形状保持部材18の他端は、どのような部材にも固定しない自由端と する。図1や図2では、ホース本体12の両端に接続部材14を備えたが、ホー ス本体12の少なくとも一端に接続部材14を備えていれば良い。The connection member 14 includes, for example, a male screw, a female screw, a metal fitting with a nozzle, and the like, but is not limited thereto. The connecting member 14 and the hose body 12 are fixed by caulking, but the fixing method is not limited to this. One end of the irreversibly deformable linear shape holding member 18 is fixed to the cylindrical connecting member 14 by welding or the like. In order to be able to maintain a shape such as bending at any position along the length of the flexible hose 10, it is desirable that the length of the shape holding member 18 be substantially the same as the length of the hose body 12. The other end of the shape holding member 18 is a free end that is not fixed to any member. In FIGS. 1 and 2, the connection members 14 are provided at both ends of the hose body 12, but the connection members 14 may be provided at least at one end of the hose body 12.
【0008】 本考案では、図1に示すような直線状のフレキシブルホース10の両端に力を 加えて、例えば図2に示すようにU字状に曲げる。その後、力を除去しても、ホ ース本体12は元に戻ろうとするが、形状保持部材18はホース本体12の元に 戻ろうとする力に抗し、フレキシブルホース10全体として図2に示すU字状の 形状を保持する。 ホース本体12の内部に備える形状保持部材18は、曲げ易くしかも曲げた後 はその曲げた形状をそのまま保持することができ、しかも、ホース内に水を通過 させた場合に水に悪影響を及ぼさない点を考慮して、銅等の素材を採用するのが 望ましい。In the present invention, a force is applied to both ends of a straight flexible hose 10 as shown in FIG. 1, and the hose is bent into a U shape as shown in FIG. 2, for example. Thereafter, even if the force is removed, the hose body 12 tries to return to the original state, but the shape retaining member 18 resists the force to return to the original state of the hose body 12, and the flexible hose 10 as a whole shown in FIG. Holds U-shape. The shape holding member 18 provided inside the hose body 12 is easy to bend and can hold the bent shape as it is after being bent, and does not adversely affect water when water is passed through the hose. Considering the points, it is desirable to adopt a material such as copper.
【0009】 なお、本発明のホースには、フレキシブルな管状の全てのもの(パイプ等)も 含むものとする。It is to be noted that the hose of the present invention includes all flexible tubular articles (such as pipes).
【0010】[0010]
以上のように、本考案に係るフレキシブルホースによれば、外力を加えること によって形を変化させ、外力を除去すると変化した形を保つことができるもので ある。この結果、ホースを自由な形状に保持することができ、ホースを空間中に 自由な位置に、従来必要とした支持部材無しに保持することができる。また、従 来のホースと比べて、非可逆性に変形する線状の形状保持部材を1本加えるだけ であるので、殆どコストを増加せずに、前記効果を達成することができる。 As described above, according to the flexible hose of the present invention, the shape can be changed by applying an external force, and the changed shape can be maintained when the external force is removed. As a result, the hose can be held in a free shape, and the hose can be held in a free position in a space without a supporting member required conventionally. Further, compared to the conventional hose, since only one linear shape holding member that is irreversibly deformed is added, the above-mentioned effect can be achieved with almost no increase in cost.
