Patented Aug. 7, 1934 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE Application November 2 2 Claims.
This invention relates to protectors for hoses, but particularly for hoses used at service stations for delivering gasoline to automobiles.
Gasoline filling hoses which are connected at one end to the pumps and have the other end free for filling purposes, must of necessity be long, and, as a result, a portion usually rests or is dragged over the ground. As a consequence, they wear out within a comparatively short period of time. It is an object of this invention to overcome this difiiculty and to produce a simple, inexpensive and reliable guard or protector, which can be readily and conveniently attached to a hose and affords adequate protection against the wear to which a hose of this character is subjected, and also to provide an efficient method for making same.
Other objects of the invention will hereinafter appear, and for purposes of illustration, but not of limitation, an embodiment of the invention is shown on the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a plan view of the wire structure after the wire has been bent to serpentine form and flattened preliminary to the transverse bending operation;
Figure 2 is a plan view of the structure in completed form;
Figure 3 is a plan view of the guard attached to a hose; and
Figure 4 is a transverse section through the hose showing an end of the guard.
The illustrated embodiment of the invention comprises a protector 10 consisting of a single length of wire which is first bent into a serpentine-like form shown in Figure 1 providing a series of spaced portions 11 and loop portions 12, the outer edges of which are in alignment with each other; loops 13 are also formed in the extreme ends of the wire. After the wire is bent into this form, it may be somewhat crinkled, twisted or otherwise irregular, and should be flattened into the form shown on Figure 1 by pressing, stretching, or other suitable means.
Thereafter the serpentine structure is bent transversely about a mandrel, or suitable form, to provide a curved structure in which the loop portions 12 face each other and are arranged in two parallel rows with the loops in one row staggered with respect to those in the other row. The space between the rows of loops is sufiicient to force the protector over a hose H so that the guard snugly fits the hose.
For securing the protector and hose together, a tie 14 preferably of wire is threaded diagonally back and forth through the loops 12 so that there 3, 1932, Serial No. 643,998
is no possibility of the protector coming loose. Obviously, the wire protector 10 will flex with the hose, but provide an efficient and reliable protection for it against rubbing, sharp corners, etc. Since the protector covers but a relatively small area, liability of the hose rotting from water, is practically eliminated.
It is to be understood that changes in construction and method of manufacture can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, especially as defined in the appended claims.
What I claim is:
1. A hose protector composed of a member formed of a length of wire bent into substantially serpentine form with oppositely disposed loops which have a staggered relation and are curved to lie snugly against the hose, the ends of the adjacent loops on opposite sides of the member being arranged in substantial parallelism, and a tie wire anchored at its ends to the end loops of the wire and having its intermediate portions extending back and forth between for connecting together the remaining loops of the wire.
2. A hose protector composed of a member formed of a length of wire bent into substantially serpentine form, said wire having spaced and oppositely disposed loops which have a staggered relation and are curved to lie flat against the hose and have a sufiicient length to encompass a substantial portion of the wall thereof, and a tie wire anchored at its ends to the end loops of the wire and having its intermediate portions extending back and forth for connecting together the remaining loops of the wire.
MYRON J. CASWELL.
