Description
I; This invention relates to heated tubing and more particularly to a heated hose for conveying molten adhesive~
Thermoplastic adhesives or so-called "hot melt"
adhesives are now widely used to secure substrates together in a great variety of applications. These hot melt mat~rials are essentially solvent free adhesives which are applied in a molten state and form a bond upon cooling to a solid state. By reason ¦of their quick setting characteristics, their adhesive 'tack"
lland their gap filling properties, they are used in many industrial lladhesive applications. For example, such adhesives are now ¦ commonly used in the assembly and manufacture of automobiles, furniture, aircraft sub-assemblies and the like. Many of tho~e Ijassembly operations utilize production line techniques whexein ,llthe adhesive applicator must be moved by an operator to and ~around ~he assembly part during application o the adhesive to jlthe substrate. In such applications the adhesive is quite i! commonly applied to the substrate by an adhesive hand gun to 'Iwhich the molten adhesive is supplied through a flexible hose.
IlIn this type of system the molten feed stock or molten adhesive 1l is converted from the solid state (e.g. pellets, bulk, or chunks) Ito a molten state by a melter structure such as a melting ~ank.
The molten feed stock is then pumped from the melter structure to a gun ox dispensex through a feed hose within which ~he molten f~ed stock is maintained at a temperature on the order of 350F.
~land a pressure of several hundred pounds per square inch. That ~feed hose as well as the dispenser gun or hand gun to which the .i ;hose supplies the molten feed stock are both commonly heated so as : Ito maintain the feed stock in the molten state when the ~un is not being used to dispense material, or to re~melt the feed !
I stoc~ if the gun is shut down for an extendecl period, i.e., over- , j 'l night, between shifts, etc.
; These feed hoses are handled and quite often come into contact with operators who are handling the dispensing guns to which the hoses axe attached~ l'hereore, the hoses are very well insula~ed so as to maintain molten material on the inside of the hose at 350F . and still be only warm to the tou~h on the outside of the hose. In the past this hose insulation has ¦been subject to failure and it hasi therefore b~en an objective ll of this invention to provide an improved hot melt adhesive dispen-¦sing hose which i5 not subjec~ to insulation degradation and I ultima~e resulting failure of the hose.
! Another problem encountered with prior hot melt adhesivej dispensing hoses is the very substantial power requirements re- 1 : quired for those hoses to maintain a preset temperature of molten ¦
¦adhesive within the hcse. It has, therefore, been a~other obj~ct-ive of this invention to provide an improved hose which has less thermal heat loss and therefore requires less power to maintain llthe molten adhesive at a preset temperature within the hose.
l~ Still another objective o~ this invention has been ,¦to provide an improved hose which is less expensive to manufacture ¦than hoses which have been used in the past for transporting ~¦hot melt adhesive from a melter to a dispensin~ gun.
Il These objectives are achieved and this invention l! is predicated upon an improved hot melt adhe~ive distribution hose which comprises a Teflon tube encased within stainless 'Isteel braiding. This braided tube has conventional hydraulic ~! swivel fittings secured -to its opposlte ends. The braided tube '¦is encased within a multiple ply covering which includes electric-lal heating wires and a temperature sensor adhered bekween two c~4~ k ~2-1, ;
I plie, of fiberglass tape. This tape is covered by multiple plies Il of helically wound, double thickness fiberglass paper between the plies of which there are embedded spiral wound electrical ~¦ leads which extend the leng~h of the hose and connect a heatex ¦¦ and temp0rature sensor at the gun with the opposit~ end of the I hose. This fiberglass paper layer is then encased within two layers of helically wound polyester felt, a layer of vinyl tape, and a braided polyester cover. The electrical leads within the l hose. extend radially from one slde through two piece molded plas- ¦
tic cuffs attached to each end of the hose. Electrical plug adapters are attached to the ends of the electrical leads so that the electrical leads from the gun and the control system may be ¦plugged into these adapters.
Il The primary advantage of the invention is that it !I provides an improved ho,,e which is less subject to failure ba-~! cause o degradation of the insulation of ~he hose, which i9 ,Imore easily and safely attached to the dispensing gun, and which ~! is less expensi~e to manufacture than prior art hoses suitable ¦Ifor this application.
~¦ These and other objects and advantages of this invent-ion will be more readily apparent from the following descrip~ion ~¦of the drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a side elevational view partially broken away and partially in cross section o a hot melt adhesive transporting hose incorporatina the inven~ion of this application.
¦ Figures 2-lS are side elevational viewsof sections ¦of the hose illustrating the wrapping sequence employed in the manufacture of the hose of Figure 1.
I Figure 16 is a perspective view of the two piece cuff attached to each end of the hose of Figure 1 _3_ ~j '.
With reference first to Figure 1 there is illustrated a heated hose 10 for transporting molten thermoplastic material or so-called "hot melt" material from a melter tan~ (nok shown) to a dispensing gun (not shown). The melter tank or source of molten material is intended to be attached ~o the unit end 11 of the hose and the dispensing gun is intended to be attached to the gun end 12. As explained more fully hereinafter, ~he unit end 11 of the hose is equipped with an electrical plug 13 which is intended to eonnect the electrical leads of the hose to a i' control panel at the melter. Similarly, the gun end 12 of the hose is equipped with an electrical pluy 14 for connecting elec~rical leads contained within the hose to a mating plug connected by electrical leads to elec~rical components of the g~t.
In gener-al, this hose 10 is intended to transport molten adhesive at a pressure of several hundred psi and at a temperature on the order of 250F. - 350F. while maintaining the material at that temperature. Additionally, the hose is sometimes required to melt material contained within the hose if that material should cool and solidify as it commonly does between shifts or overnight when the dispenser gun with which the hose is utilized is inoperative. To that end the hose includes electrical resistance heaters 23, 24 contained within the hose and ext~nding for the length of the hose ~ These heaters 1l are covered by insulative material so as to enable the hose to be ;
contacted or tonched by the operator of the dispensing gu~ i without any physical harm.
With reference now to Figures 2-15, there is illus-trated the sequence of operations employed to manufacture the -4~
,"
hose 10. This sequence starts with a Teflon tube 20 braided with a stainless steel wire braiding 21~ Teflon is chosen for this application because it is one o:f the few polymeric materials which will withstand the relatively high temperatures at which molten thermoplastic adhesive is maintained as it is pumped from one place to another. However, Teflon will not withstand the relatively high pressures at which this material is usually pumped, i.e. on the order of 200 psi, and therefore the Teflon tube is encased within the stainless steel metal braiding 21~
Extendiny from each end of the Teflon tube 20 there is a conventional hydraulic female swivel 18 and 19. The swivel 18 at the unit end 11 of the hose is fitted with a threaded male adapter plug 17 so as to enable the fitting to be attached to a conventional hot melt adhesive melting unit. s ilcd c~ 2 The braided tube is wrapped with a double-~e~ fiber~
glass electrical tape (Figure 2) which is helically wrapped in overlapping fashion for the length of the tube 2a. The tape 22 is referred to as double-sided because it has thermosetting adhesive on both sides. Consequently, it adheres to the braiding 21 of the tube and to a double wrap of heater tape 23, 24 which is helically wound over the fiberglass tape 22. The heater tapes ¦
23, 24 are conventional co~nercially purchaseable items which include an electrical resistance heating wire 25 sinusoidally ¦
configured within the tape. Located between the two heater tapes : ¦23, 24 at a mid-point in the leng-th of the hose there is a conventional resistance temperature detector RTD 16 helically wrapped about the hose over the double-sided fiberglass tape.
The RTD is secured in place with a layer 15 of single-sided electric tape. This temperature detector 16 is helically wound .
about the hose and is located approximately 18" from the unit end 11 of khe hose. Since the RDT is a co~nercially available , item, it h~s not been described in detail herein.
After application of the heater tapes 23, 24 and the hose re~i~tance temperature detec~or RTD 16, the tube i8 wrapped with a ~ingle-sided fiberglass electrlcal tape 77 which is heli-¦cally wrapped in an overlapping fashion for the length of the ¦tube 20.
~ After application of the fiberglass tape 77, the tube is j helically wrapped with a single ply of double thickness fiber-glass paper 26. By overlapping the helically wound paper for half its width, the single ply of paper results in a double thick-ness of thermal insulative fiberglass paper being applied to the tube.
~fter application of the fiberglass paper 26, the tube is helically wound with five electrical leads 27, 28, 29, 30 and ¦31. Four of the~ leads 27, 28, 29 and 30 are in~ulated leads and the fifth lead 31 is a braided ground wire which may be Icovered with an insulative material. Two of the leads 27, 28 ~are intended to be connected to the heater or the dispensing ~¦gun ~not shown) and two leads 29, 30 are intended to be connected ¦
to the temperature controller of the dispe~sing gun. The ground ¦wire 31 serves to ground the dispensing gun.
~l After wrapping of the hose with the el~ctrical leads !¦ 27-30 and ground wire 31, the tube is wrapped wi~h two mox~
!plies of double thickness fiberglass paper 32, 33. Again, in ! order to obtain the double thickness, each ply is 50% overlapped upon itself for the full length of -the helical winding o each ply .
ll l 1. ~

!
Il The fiberglas~ paper plies 26, 32 and 33 are all made Il from a co~mercially available unwoven fiberglass. The matexial is referred to as fiberglas~ becau'se it is conventionally manufact-ured by paper companies on conventional paper making machinexy.
Con~equently, it is an unwoven fiberglass material.
.
~ fter application of the two plies o ~iberglass paper 32, 33, the tube is wrapped for its full length with two plies or wxaps of helically wound polyester felt (Fiberdyne E275) 34, Il 35 (Figure 5). This double thickness o polyeste,r felt is then 1~ followed with a single thickness layer of helically wound vinyl electrical tape 36 which has adhesive upon its underqide. This vinyl tape functions as a moisture barrier over the felt.
After the tube has been completely wound with tha ! multiple plies hereinbe~ore described, the insulative material ,lwrapped over the electrical heater tapes 23, 24 is cut away or trimmed back from each end of the hose for approximately three ¦inches (Figures 6 and 11). As seen in Figure 6, this results in approximately three inches of each of the heater tapes 23~ 24, ~he RTD leads 37, 38, and the electrical gun leads 27, 28, 29, 30 ~0 Illand 31 being exposed for approximately three inches at each end of the hose. The electrical wire within each of these leads is l then exposed by cu~,ting away of the insula~ion over the ends of ¦,the leads. At the unit end of the hose the exposRd wire of ,,the electrical leads are all connected to the ends of electrical leads 4~ by conventional insulated crimped splicers 43. As ',Ishown in Figure 11, the gun end of the hose, the exposed ends 'lof the heating wire 25 within each of the hea~.er tapes 23, 24 are connected together by a crimped splice 47~ Interconnec~1ng the ends of the heater tapes 23, 24 enables a~ electxical circui~
3Q to be comple~ed through the tapes with the resul~ that there `,need be no return wire to make the completed circuit. The -7~
!
ll i exposed ends of the electrical leads 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31 a~ the j gun end of the hose are connected hy conventional crimped splicers to electrical leads 4~.
The electrical leads 42, 48 at each end of the hose are bundled within a braided fiherglass sleeve 49 covered by a thermoplastic elastomeric tube 50 which extend~ radially from the side of the hose~
~l ~fter the leads 42, 48 are encased within the sleavea ;l and tubes ~9, 50 the ends of the ho~e are built up with a l~ multiple ply covering identical to the covering which had been l¦ removed to expose the electrical leads and the heated tape.
1 IlSpecifically, the ends of the ho~e axe wrapped with a single sided electrical tape 51 having a thermosetting adhe~ive on the ,linside surface thereof followed by three plies of double thicknes~;
¦¦fiberglass paper 52, two plies of helically wound polyester felt 53 and a single ply of helically wound vinyl electrical tape 54O
¦ The full length of the hose is then covered with a ¦braided polyester cover 55 having holes 56 through which tho jbundled electrical leads 42, 48 extend radially from the hose ,(Figure 14). Conventional metal bands 57 are then cl~mped over : I the Pnds of the hose so as to clamp the insulative ma~eria}s in 'Icompression within the band. The ends of the insulative ma~erial are then trimmed as indicated at 58, 59 in Figure 15 preparatory to attachment of hard molded plastic cuffs 60, 61 over the ends ~of the hose.
,I The two cuffs 60, 61 attached to the opposite ends of : ,the hose lO are identical and therefore only a single cuf will be describedO It should be appreciated though that an identic~l j cuff is attached to both ends of the hose.
With referPnce to Figure 16 it will be seen that the cuff 60 comprises two substantially identical halve~ 62a, 62b , ~which differ only in that one-hal~ 62a is provided with a radial ¦hole 63 through which the bundle of electrical leads contained within sleeve 49 and tube 50 extend. Each half 62a, 62b comprises a semi-circular tubular section 64 having one closed end 65. The closed end has a semi-circular hole 66 in the centex ¦
such that when the two halves are put together, the semi-circular lholes 66 combine to Eorm a circular hole through the otherwise closed end o the cuff. The two halves of the c~lff are secured ,l together by four screws (not shown) which extend through four 1, matching holes 67 formed in each half of the cuf.
Formed on the interior of the end walls 65 oE each hal o~ the cuff there is preferably a Y-shaped groove 68. When the cuff is assembled over the end of the hose this Y-shaped groove mates with 1ats 69 ~Figure l) formed on a hexagonal port~ ¦
ion 76 of the swivel ~itting 18, l9 so as to pxevent the cuf~
from rotating relative to the hose.
, With reference to Figure 1, it will be seen that the bundle of electrical leads 42 at the unit end of the hose ext~nd l through the hole or aperture 63 in the side of the cuff 600 A
¦ plastic block 70 having a threaded bore 72 is bolted by convent-! ional fasteners (not shown) to a boss 71 formed on the s'de of ¦¦the cuff surrounding the aperture 63. Within the threaded bore ¦72 of this block there is a threaded nut through which the bundle of electrical leads extend. A nut 73 is compressed over the l¦bundle of leads and a grommet (not shown) contained internally ilf the nut frictionally secures the nut to the sleeve 49 and tub jiing 50 surrounding the bundle of leads so as to prevent the bundle of leads from being pulled radial1y from the hose 10.
_9_ ,j l The outer end of the tu~e 50 cont~ining the bundle of electrical leads extends into a conventional commercially available electrical plug 13. This plug has multiple pins adapted to be received within pins of the control section of a melter unit so as to electrically connect the leads of the hose to the electrical leads of the control unit.
On the gun end of the hose 10 the cuff 61 is secuxed against rotation relative to the hose by engagement of flats o~ the Y-shaped slot 68 with flats 69 on the hexagonal shaped section 76 of the hydrauli~ fitting 19. The tube 50 containing the electrical leads at the gun end of the hose extends through the hole 63 in the cuff 61. Mounted upon the boss 71 surround- ¦
ing the aperture 63 there is a conventional commercially avail- ¦
able electrical plug 14 to pins of which the leads 48 contained within the tube 50 are connected. This plug is attached to the cuff by conventional screws or threaded connectors ~not 3hown)0 The plug preferably is of the type which has a rotatable cam attached to it and adapted to cooperate with a cam surf~ce of a mating plug so as to secure a mating plug to the plug 14. The plug 14 is adapted to receive the mating plu~ of a flexible electrical lead from the dispenser gun to which the gun end of the hose is intended to be connected. Such a lead would connect the leads 27-31 of the hose with a heater r temperature controlled~
element, and gxound contained within the gun.
The primary advantage of the hose hereinabove described is that it is less subject to failure than pre~ently available commercial hoses suited for similar applications. It is al~o much less costly to manufac~ure than presently availabl~ ho.~e~
for such application. This hose also has the advantage of being !
more easily connected to thermoplastic melters and dispensing guns than most hoses available for this purpose.
While we have descri~ed only a single preferred embodi- ~
ment of our invention, persons skilled in this art will appreciate;

IlIn this type of system the molten feed stock or molten adhesive 1l is converted from the solid state (e.g. pellets, bulk, or chunks) Ito a molten state by a melter structure such as a melting ~ank.
The molten feed stock is then pumped from the melter structure to a gun ox dispensex through a feed hose within which ~he molten f~ed stock is maintained at a temperature on the order of 350F.

~¦ These and other objects and advantages of this invent-ion will be more readily apparent from the following descrip~ion ~¦of the drawings in which:

¦ Figures 2-lS are side elevational viewsof sections ¦of the hose illustrating the wrapping sequence employed in the manufacture of the hose of Figure 1.
I Figure 16 is a perspective view of the two piece cuff attached to each end of the hose of Figure 1 _3_ ~j '.
With reference first to Figure 1 there is illustrated a heated hose 10 for transporting molten thermoplastic material or so-called "hot melt" material from a melter tan~ (nok shown) to a dispensing gun (not shown). The melter tank or source of molten material is intended to be attached ~o the unit end 11 of the hose and the dispensing gun is intended to be attached to the gun end 12. As explained more fully hereinafter, ~he unit end 11 of the hose is equipped with an electrical plug 13 which is intended to eonnect the electrical leads of the hose to a i' control panel at the melter. Similarly, the gun end 12 of the hose is equipped with an electrical pluy 14 for connecting elec~rical leads contained within the hose to a mating plug connected by electrical leads to elec~rical components of the g~t.
In gener-al, this hose 10 is intended to transport molten adhesive at a pressure of several hundred psi and at a temperature on the order of 250F. - 350F. while maintaining the material at that temperature. Additionally, the hose is sometimes required to melt material contained within the hose if that material should cool and solidify as it commonly does between shifts or overnight when the dispenser gun with which the hose is utilized is inoperative. To that end the hose includes electrical resistance heaters 23, 24 contained within the hose and ext~nding for the length of the hose ~ These heaters 1l are covered by insulative material so as to enable the hose to be ;
contacted or tonched by the operator of the dispensing gu~ i without any physical harm.
With reference now to Figures 2-15, there is illus-trated the sequence of operations employed to manufacture the -4~
,"
hose 10. This sequence starts with a Teflon tube 20 braided with a stainless steel wire braiding 21~ Teflon is chosen for this application because it is one o:f the few polymeric materials which will withstand the relatively high temperatures at which molten thermoplastic adhesive is maintained as it is pumped from one place to another. However, Teflon will not withstand the relatively high pressures at which this material is usually pumped, i.e. on the order of 200 psi, and therefore the Teflon tube is encased within the stainless steel metal braiding 21~
Extendiny from each end of the Teflon tube 20 there is a conventional hydraulic female swivel 18 and 19. The swivel 18 at the unit end 11 of the hose is fitted with a threaded male adapter plug 17 so as to enable the fitting to be attached to a conventional hot melt adhesive melting unit. s ilcd c~ 2 The braided tube is wrapped with a double-~e~ fiber~
glass electrical tape (Figure 2) which is helically wrapped in overlapping fashion for the length of the tube 2a. The tape 22 is referred to as double-sided because it has thermosetting adhesive on both sides. Consequently, it adheres to the braiding 21 of the tube and to a double wrap of heater tape 23, 24 which is helically wound over the fiberglass tape 22. The heater tapes ¦
23, 24 are conventional co~nercially purchaseable items which include an electrical resistance heating wire 25 sinusoidally ¦
configured within the tape. Located between the two heater tapes : ¦23, 24 at a mid-point in the leng-th of the hose there is a conventional resistance temperature detector RTD 16 helically wrapped about the hose over the double-sided fiberglass tape.
The RTD is secured in place with a layer 15 of single-sided electric tape. This temperature detector 16 is helically wound .
about the hose and is located approximately 18" from the unit end 11 of khe hose. Since the RDT is a co~nercially available , item, it h~s not been described in detail herein.
After application of the heater tapes 23, 24 and the hose re~i~tance temperature detec~or RTD 16, the tube i8 wrapped with a ~ingle-sided fiberglass electrlcal tape 77 which is heli-¦cally wrapped in an overlapping fashion for the length of the ¦tube 20.
~ After application of the fiberglass tape 77, the tube is j helically wrapped with a single ply of double thickness fiber-glass paper 26. By overlapping the helically wound paper for half its width, the single ply of paper results in a double thick-ness of thermal insulative fiberglass paper being applied to the tube.
~fter application of the fiberglass paper 26, the tube is helically wound with five electrical leads 27, 28, 29, 30 and ¦31. Four of the~ leads 27, 28, 29 and 30 are in~ulated leads and the fifth lead 31 is a braided ground wire which may be Icovered with an insulative material. Two of the leads 27, 28 ~are intended to be connected to the heater or the dispensing ~¦gun ~not shown) and two leads 29, 30 are intended to be connected ¦
to the temperature controller of the dispe~sing gun. The ground ¦wire 31 serves to ground the dispensing gun.
~l After wrapping of the hose with the el~ctrical leads !¦ 27-30 and ground wire 31, the tube is wrapped wi~h two mox~
!plies of double thickness fiberglass paper 32, 33. Again, in ! order to obtain the double thickness, each ply is 50% overlapped upon itself for the full length of -the helical winding o each ply .

!
Il The fiberglas~ paper plies 26, 32 and 33 are all made Il from a co~mercially available unwoven fiberglass. The matexial is referred to as fiberglas~ becau'se it is conventionally manufact-ured by paper companies on conventional paper making machinexy.
Con~equently, it is an unwoven fiberglass material.
.
~ fter application of the two plies o ~iberglass paper 32, 33, the tube is wrapped for its full length with two plies or wxaps of helically wound polyester felt (Fiberdyne E275) 34, Il 35 (Figure 5). This double thickness o polyeste,r felt is then 1~ followed with a single thickness layer of helically wound vinyl electrical tape 36 which has adhesive upon its underqide. This vinyl tape functions as a moisture barrier over the felt.
After the tube has been completely wound with tha ! multiple plies hereinbe~ore described, the insulative material ,lwrapped over the electrical heater tapes 23, 24 is cut away or trimmed back from each end of the hose for approximately three ¦inches (Figures 6 and 11). As seen in Figure 6, this results in approximately three inches of each of the heater tapes 23~ 24, ~he RTD leads 37, 38, and the electrical gun leads 27, 28, 29, 30 ~0 Illand 31 being exposed for approximately three inches at each end of the hose. The electrical wire within each of these leads is l then exposed by cu~,ting away of the insula~ion over the ends of ¦,the leads. At the unit end of the hose the exposRd wire of ,,the electrical leads are all connected to the ends of electrical leads 4~ by conventional insulated crimped splicers 43. As ',Ishown in Figure 11, the gun end of the hose, the exposed ends 'lof the heating wire 25 within each of the hea~.er tapes 23, 24 are connected together by a crimped splice 47~ Interconnec~1ng the ends of the heater tapes 23, 24 enables a~ electxical circui~
3Q to be comple~ed through the tapes with the resul~ that there `,need be no return wire to make the completed circuit. The -7~
!
ll i exposed ends of the electrical leads 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31 a~ the j gun end of the hose are connected hy conventional crimped splicers to electrical leads 4~.
The electrical leads 42, 48 at each end of the hose are bundled within a braided fiherglass sleeve 49 covered by a thermoplastic elastomeric tube 50 which extend~ radially from the side of the hose~
~l ~fter the leads 42, 48 are encased within the sleavea ;l and tubes ~9, 50 the ends of the ho~e are built up with a l~ multiple ply covering identical to the covering which had been l¦ removed to expose the electrical leads and the heated tape.
1 IlSpecifically, the ends of the ho~e axe wrapped with a single sided electrical tape 51 having a thermosetting adhe~ive on the ,linside surface thereof followed by three plies of double thicknes~;
¦¦fiberglass paper 52, two plies of helically wound polyester felt 53 and a single ply of helically wound vinyl electrical tape 54O
¦ The full length of the hose is then covered with a ¦braided polyester cover 55 having holes 56 through which tho jbundled electrical leads 42, 48 extend radially from the hose ,(Figure 14). Conventional metal bands 57 are then cl~mped over : I the Pnds of the hose so as to clamp the insulative ma~eria}s in 'Icompression within the band. The ends of the insulative ma~erial are then trimmed as indicated at 58, 59 in Figure 15 preparatory to attachment of hard molded plastic cuffs 60, 61 over the ends ~of the hose.
,I The two cuffs 60, 61 attached to the opposite ends of : ,the hose lO are identical and therefore only a single cuf will be describedO It should be appreciated though that an identic~l j cuff is attached to both ends of the hose.
With referPnce to Figure 16 it will be seen that the cuff 60 comprises two substantially identical halve~ 62a, 62b , ~which differ only in that one-hal~ 62a is provided with a radial ¦hole 63 through which the bundle of electrical leads contained within sleeve 49 and tube 50 extend. Each half 62a, 62b comprises a semi-circular tubular section 64 having one closed end 65. The closed end has a semi-circular hole 66 in the centex ¦
such that when the two halves are put together, the semi-circular lholes 66 combine to Eorm a circular hole through the otherwise closed end o the cuff. The two halves of the c~lff are secured ,l together by four screws (not shown) which extend through four 1, matching holes 67 formed in each half of the cuf.
Formed on the interior of the end walls 65 oE each hal o~ the cuff there is preferably a Y-shaped groove 68. When the cuff is assembled over the end of the hose this Y-shaped groove mates with 1ats 69 ~Figure l) formed on a hexagonal port~ ¦
ion 76 of the swivel ~itting 18, l9 so as to pxevent the cuf~
from rotating relative to the hose.
, With reference to Figure 1, it will be seen that the bundle of electrical leads 42 at the unit end of the hose ext~nd l through the hole or aperture 63 in the side of the cuff 600 A
¦ plastic block 70 having a threaded bore 72 is bolted by convent-! ional fasteners (not shown) to a boss 71 formed on the s'de of ¦¦the cuff surrounding the aperture 63. Within the threaded bore ¦72 of this block there is a threaded nut through which the bundle of electrical leads extend. A nut 73 is compressed over the l¦bundle of leads and a grommet (not shown) contained internally ilf the nut frictionally secures the nut to the sleeve 49 and tub jiing 50 surrounding the bundle of leads so as to prevent the bundle of leads from being pulled radial1y from the hose 10.
_9_ ,j l The outer end of the tu~e 50 cont~ining the bundle of electrical leads extends into a conventional commercially available electrical plug 13. This plug has multiple pins adapted to be received within pins of the control section of a melter unit so as to electrically connect the leads of the hose to the electrical leads of the control unit.
On the gun end of the hose 10 the cuff 61 is secuxed against rotation relative to the hose by engagement of flats o~ the Y-shaped slot 68 with flats 69 on the hexagonal shaped section 76 of the hydrauli~ fitting 19. The tube 50 containing the electrical leads at the gun end of the hose extends through the hole 63 in the cuff 61. Mounted upon the boss 71 surround- ¦
ing the aperture 63 there is a conventional commercially avail- ¦
able electrical plug 14 to pins of which the leads 48 contained within the tube 50 are connected. This plug is attached to the cuff by conventional screws or threaded connectors ~not 3hown)0 The plug preferably is of the type which has a rotatable cam attached to it and adapted to cooperate with a cam surf~ce of a mating plug so as to secure a mating plug to the plug 14. The plug 14 is adapted to receive the mating plu~ of a flexible electrical lead from the dispenser gun to which the gun end of the hose is intended to be connected. Such a lead would connect the leads 27-31 of the hose with a heater r temperature controlled~
element, and gxound contained within the gun.
The primary advantage of the hose hereinabove described is that it is less subject to failure than pre~ently available commercial hoses suited for similar applications. It is al~o much less costly to manufac~ure than presently availabl~ ho.~e~
for such application. This hose also has the advantage of being !
more easily connected to thermoplastic melters and dispensing guns than most hoses available for this purpose.
While we have descri~ed only a single preferred embodi- ~
ment of our invention, persons skilled in this art will appreciate;
changes and modifications which may be made without departing from the spirit of our invention. Therefore, we do not intend to be limited except by the scope of the following claims:
