    摘要: A method of forming a hose includes: extruding a web of plastics material from a first extruder; helically winding the extruded web about a mandrel or at least one rotating rod to form a wall of the hose; feeding an electrical wire into a second extruder; extruding a bead of plastics material around the electrical wire from the second extruder, wherein the first electrical wire is positioned at a first location within a cross-section of the bead that comprises a bonding surface; cooling the bead to cool the plastics material adjacent the first location to prevent migration of the first electrical wire from the first location; re-heating the first bonding surface to cause the plastics material of the bonding surface to become molten; and helically winding the bead onto the hose to put the bonding surface into contact with, and to cause bonding with, the wall of the hose.

    摘要: An undermold coupling to couple a hose to a hose fitting includes: a tubular portion to be inserted into a hose interface of the hose fitting; threads formed on an inner surface of the tubular portion to engage a support helix on an end of the hose as a set of threads; and a first grating comprising a first plurality of elongate portions to intermesh with a corresponding second plurality of elongate portions of a second grating of the hose interface, wherein the first plurality of elongate portions extend into a second plurality of slots defined by the second plurality of elongate portions, and the second plurality of elongate portions extend into a first plurality of slots defined by the first plurality of elongate portions.

    摘要: Unwinding a portion of a support helix that comprises a heating wire from a wall of a hose at an end of the hose; sleeving a length of heatshrink tubing at least partly onto the unwound portion of the support helix; heating the heatshrink tubing to shrink onto at least part of the unwound portion of the support helix; and at an end of the unwound portion, directly connecting the heating wire to an electrical contact of an electrical connector.

    摘要: A respiratory humidification device includes: a casing; a separator wall to divide an interior space into filling and humidification chambers, wherein a bottom edge of the separator wall leaves a space between it and the casing bottom to define a passage allowing water to flow atop the casing bottom between the chambers, and enabling the water level to rise enough to block the passage to prevent respiratory gas from passing therethrough; a valve and float within the filling chamber to control water flow into the filling chamber to prevent the water level from rising higher than a threshold; and wherein an outer wall of the casing and the separator wall cooperate with the water surface within the humidification chamber to define an elongate tube-like pathway through which respiratory gas proceeds along a path extending generally parallel to the water surface within the humidification chamber to be humidified.

    摘要: An extensible-retractable helically reinforced hose is formed by helically wrapping a freshly extruded bead of thermoplastic material about a rotating mandrel to form a helical array of spaced reinforcing coils, and by helically wrapping a freshly extruded thin yet wide web of thermoplastic material so edge regions of the wide web are placed onto and bond continuously with the peripheries of each adjacent pair of the reinforcing coils, with a leading edge region of each new wrap of the web overlying and bonding to a trailing edge region of a prior web wrap. Central portions of each web wrap extend radially inwardly and are sandwiched between adjacent reinforcing coils when the hose is retracted to a minimal axial length.

    摘要: A method of forming a flexible, stretchable, crush resistant axially extending hose includes: providing coils entirely of thermoplastic material to form a continuous and hollow helix; providing a thin, narrow, elongate web of thermoplastic material that extends between adjacent coils of the helix and has edge regions welded to adjacent ones of the coils to form a single continuous wall with the web having a centrally located fold situated between adjacent ones of the coils; and subjecting the hose to an annealing process while axially compressing the hose so that molecules of the thermoplastic material forming the coils of the helix and the thin elongate web are relaxed such that stress is substantially absent from the hose when the coils of the helix are close together.
