PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Couplings for Wire Lined Hose and in the Method
of Connecting Hose thereto.
We, JOSEPH MOSELEY, Manufacturer, and BENJAMIN BLUNDSTONE, Manager, both
of the Chapelfield India Rubber Works, Ardwick, Manchester, in the County of
Lancaster do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to wire lined hose and similar pipes; to the couplings
employed therewith, and the method of connecting the couplings thereto; and it has
for its object to diminish or prevent the cracking or rupture of the hose or pipe near
the tail of the coupling, and to increase the efficiency of the connection.
These improvements consist in continuing the wire lining to the end or to near the
end of the hose and in forming upon the tail of the coupling a spiral groove or screw
thread corresponding in pitch, direction and dimensions to those of the lining wire in
such a manner that the wire within the hose forms the thread of a femalo screw into
which the screwed tail of the coupling may be threaded or screwed.

We, JOSEPH MOSELEY Manufacturer, and BENJAMIN BLUNDSTONE, Manager, both
of the Chapelfield India-rubber Works, Ardwick, in the County of Lancaster, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:—
This Invention relates to wire-lined hose and similar pipes; to the couplings
employed therewith, and the method of connecting the couplings thereto; and it has
for its object to diminish or prevent the cracking or rupture of the hose or pipe near
the tail of the coupling and to increase the efficiency of the connection.
Those Improvements consist in continuing the wire lining to the end or to near the
end of the hose and in forming upon the tail of the coupling a spiral groove or
screw thread corresponding in pitch direction and dimensions to those of the lining
wire in such a manner that the wire within the hose forms or is capable of forming the
thread of a female scrow into which the screwed tail of the coupling may be throaded
or screwed.
A sheet of Drawings is appended hereto to which reference is hereinafter made. In
each of the Figures similar parts are denoted by similar letters.
Fig. 1 represents a longitudinal section of an ordinary coupling, Fig. 2 a similar
section partly in elevation, of a brake tube coupling, and Fig. 3 is an end view of
Fig. 2. These couplings are in each case shown with our Improvements applied
thereto.
A is the wire lining of the tube or hose B, C is the tail of the coupling, upon which
a spiral groove D is formed; In the Drawings the end of the hose is represented as
being of larger diametor this is not necessary but is advantageous. The lose may be
additionally wired upon the coupling in the usual way.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what wo
claim is :-
The hereinbefore described method of and means for connecting wire lined hose and
similar pipes and tubes to their couplings, substantially as set forth and as illustrated
by the accompanying Drawings.
