The present invention is directed toward an anti-kink support sleeve for flexible hoses such as garden hoses. The construction of the device permits flexation of the hose while preventing the hose from kinking or collapsing in proximity of the support sleeve and most particularly near the hose bib. The anti-kink support sleeve includes a plurality of interconnected section members. Each interconnected section member includes a ball end and a socket end. The socket end being constructed to cooperate with the ball end of an adjacently positioned section to construct a universally swiveling connection having an inner diameter of sufficient size to pass the hose member therethrough. A plurality of sections are interconnected to assemble the anti-kink hose sleeve having a sufficient length to support the desired section(s) of hose.

An adjustable, weight resistance exercise device and method for testing and/or strengthening muscles of the pelvic diaphragm comprising an elongated, semi-rigid tube and a resilient balloon member. The tube has a first end that is formed to accommodate a hose barb and a second end. The balloon member covers the second end approximately two inches to a sealed end. A syringe is connected to the hose barb allowing fluid or gas such as water or air to flow through a passageway of the tube into the balloon member. The balloon member expands under the pressure forming a reservoir of varying diameter, length, and weight.

A gas flow regulator includes a one-piece housing with an internally disposed flowmeter. The flowmeter is screwed into the housing. A fitting, such as a hose barb, extends through the housing and into the body of the flowmeter to secure the pieces together. Similarly, an inner core assembly can be separately fabricated, screwed into the housing and secured by fittings. This allows a full brass core for oxygen regulators.

An apparatus for replacing underground plastic pipe consisting of a mole, flexible cable, pulling devise and water pump. The mole is a cone shaped tool consisting of a nose section, cutting blades, water nozzles and a hose barb. The flexible cable is inserted through the existing pipe, one end is attached to the pulling devise and the other end is attached to the nose section of the mole. Replacement pipe is attached to the hose barb section of the mole on one end and to the water pump on the other end.

As the pulling devise pulls the mole along the path of the existing pipe, the cutting blades split the existing pipe and water from the nozzles erode and moisten the soil surrounding it. The cone shape of the mole expands the split pipe out into the moistened soil, creating clearance for the new pipe being pulled into place.

The double-hose clamp is simple in structure, flexible in movement and reliable in performance and can clamp two hoses at the same time, thus meeting the requirements in more advanced sealing of sealing two cover gaskets at the same time.

Fabrication of formed hoses is provided which include an innermost elastomer layer, a first fiber-reinforcement region, and multiple second fiber-reinforcement regions. The first fiber-reinforcement region has a first fiber-reinforcement density, and is disposed, at least in part, at a bend region of the formed hose, and the multiple second fiber-reinforcement regions have a second fiber-reinforcement density, and are disposed at least at the first and second end regions of the formed hose. The second fiber-reinforcement density is greater than the first fiber-reinforcement density, and results in the first and second ends of the formed hose being less radially-deformable than the bend region of the hose. This facilitates providing a mechanical fluid-tight connection with a hose barb fitting when the formed hose is slid over the hose barb fitting, absent any clamp over the formed hose and hose barb fitting connection.
