Improvements in Flexible Hose or Tubing.
We JAMES JONES, and JAMES LIONEL JONES, both of 15 Parliament Street, Dublin,
Ireland, India Rubber Manufacturers do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This Invention has reference to the production of a new, or improved flexible hose,
or tubing and is an improvement on a certain invention for which Letters-Patent were
granted to the said James Jones, dated the 19th June 1884, No. 9169; the present
invention being specially designed for the conveyance of gases, hydro-carbons, hot
oils and other similar products.
In carrying out our said invention we form the frame of the hose, or tubing of
copper, iron, or steel wire in the ordinary way, and around this frame is wound one,
two, or more consecutive layers, or plys of suitable textile fabric, such as cotton, linen,
or silk, having previously been prepared in the manner described in the above recited
Letters-Patent, that is to say by saturating the material in raw, or boiled linseed oil,
or other suitable oil, or compound of oils capable of rendering the same of air tight,
and water tight capacity.
Around the foundation thus prepared, is rolled one, or more layers, or plys of the
substance commercially known as Vegetable Parchment either moist, or dry, when
a further covering consisting of one, or more layers, of textile fabric prepared as
above described is now laid on; or in lieu of the inner, or outer covering of specially
prepared fabric, we may use a layer, or layers of india rubber, or india rubber in
combination with other suitable substance.
When the article is so far complete, the whole is bound with wire, or cord wound
in a spiral manner whereby the composed fabric is partly crushed into the concentric
spaces formed by the spiral frame work, on which the hose or tubing is
constructed.
Thus by the action of the internal spiral frame, and the external spiral winding a
bellows, or corrugated formation is imparted to the manufactured article which is
essential to the effectual working of same.

Improvements in Flexible Hose or Tubing.
We JAMES JONES and JAMES LIONEL JONES both of 15 Parliament Street, Dublin,
Ireland, India Rubber Manufacturers 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 has reference to the production of a new or improved flexible hose,.
or tubing and is an improvement on a certain invention entitled
"
Improvements in the manufacture of Suction Hose, or Vacuum tubing" for which.
Letters-Patent were granted to the said James Jones, dated the 19th June 1884,
No. 9169; the present invention being specially designed for the conveyance of
gases, hydro-carbons, hot oils, and other similar products.
In carrying out our said invention we form the frame of the hose, or tubing, of
copper, iron, or steel wire in the ordinary way, and around this frame is wound one,
two, or more consecutive layers or plys of suitable textile fabric such as cotton, linen,

Letters-Patent that is to say-by saturating the material in raw, or boiled linseed
oil, or other suitable oil, or compound of oils, capable of rendering the same of air
tight and water tight capacity.
Around the foundation thus prepared is rolled one, or more layers or plys of the
substance commercially known as, Vegetable Parchment either moist, or dry when a
further covering consisting of one or more layers, of textile fabric prepared as above
described is then layed on; or in lieu of the inner or outer covering of specially
prepared fabric we may use a layer or layers of india rubber, or india rubber in
combination with other suitable substance.
When the hose or tubing is so far complete, the whole is bound with wire, or cord
wound in a spiral manner whereby the composed fabric is partly indented or crushed,
into the concentric spaces formed by the internal spiral frame work on which the
article is constructed.
Thus by the action of the internal spiral frame and the external spiral winding a
bellows like, or corrugated formation is imparted to the manufactured article which is
essential to the effectual working of same, rendering it capable of resisting
considerable pressure, while at the same time it is flexible and yielding in its
nature.
Having thus described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we desire to say that what we
claim is
1st. In the manufacture of flexible hose, or tubing for the conveyance of gases,
hydro-carbons, hot oils and other similar products the use of the substance
commercially known as Vegetable Parchment in combination with one or more layer,
or layers of suitable textile fabric prepared and arranged substantially as herein
described and set forth.
2nd. The use and application of flexible hose, or tubing constructed and arranged
substantially as herein specified.
