AMADEE SPADONE, OF NEWV YORK, N. Y.

RUBBER-COVERED HOSE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 338,312, dated March 23, 1886.

Application filed November 25, 1885. Serial No. 193,973.

To all whom it may concern,-

Be it known that I, AMADEE Sranonn, a citizen of the United States. residing in the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in the Manufacture of Rubber Hose, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to that class of hose which is made partly of rubber and partly of textile fabrics or materials laid in consecutive circular layers about a central inner surface or tube.

Up to the present time cotton duck, linen, or cotton in woven, braided, or webbed fabrics has been used to make up such layers. In order to render the cotton or linen material of the hose durable, it is necessary to infuse into, saturate, or impregnate it with antisepties, to insure its security against rot or decay.

The object of my invention is to combine with the indiarubber, in the manufacture of hose, a material or fabric of such character that will do away with the necessity for antiseptics, and develop a hose of greater durability than any on the market.

Another object of my invention is to introduce such a combination of materials as will safely meet present pumping and pressure practice, as illustrated in the demands of fire hose and railroad-brake practice.

To such ends my improvements are based upon the special and well-known capacity of silk and the animal hairs and wools, more especially camels hair, to withstand rot or decay.

Certain of my improvements consist in the combination of silk, of animal hair or wool, or fabric made from any one or more of them with india-rubber in the manufacture of hose.-

Certain other improvements consist in the consequent reduction in weight, bulk, or stiffness of the hose construction, making the same less cumbersome and by far more easily handled, bent, or reeled in active service or in packing. In consequence of the increased tensile capacity of silk and the animal hairs and wools, more especially camels hair and the fabrics made therefrom, I develop a correspondingly-increased improvement in the strength of hose both longitudinally and radially, varying with the methods of plaiting, weaving, fabrication, or wrapping of the layers to be constituted as part of the hose con struction.

In the drawings, Figures 1 and 2 represent No model.)

a hose construction embodying my improvements, and consisting of one or more layers, B, of rubbercoated silk, animal hair or wool material wrapped about a central tube of rubber, A, and covered with an outer layer of rubber, C. Figs. 3 and 4 represent a second sample of hose embodying my improvements, and consisting of an inner tubing of rubber, A, and an outer'layer or coating, B, of tubular fabric, woven of silk or of animal hair or wool, or any two or three of the materials combined.

The detail method of manufacture of the hose is of course the same as that in which cotton, linen, and like materials are now used, and is so well known to persons skilled in the art that it is not necessary to describe the same in this specification. By such well-known constructions, and by the use of silk or the animal hairs or wools, I am enabled to produce a hose which, by actual test and trial,

can withstand far greater pressures, much harder usage and strain, and at the same time be much lighter in weight and less bulky to handle than any now in' use. WVhere demand is made for a protective casing of other materialsuch as canvas, duck, leather-for heavy street usage, it may of course be attached in the usual mtnuer; but I am of the opinion that no such protection is or will be necessary, and will only tend to defeat the object aimed atthat of incorporating in the hose construction all the lightening, strengthening, and enduring features for which silk or the animal hairs or wools or their fabrications are introduced. An outer coating of rubber is sufficient for ordinary purposes.

\Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure AMADEE SPADON E.
