ABSTRACT:
A material transporting hose of integral construction having a body of flexible, resilient material which includes a pair of longitudinally reinforced portions disposed on opposite sides of the cross-section of the body. The portions include at least one elongated reinforcing member embedded therein extending generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the hose to provide longitudinal strength. The longitudinally reinforced portions have a total combined perimeter which is equal to or less than the total combined perimeter of the remaining portions of the cross-section of the hose body which do not contain longitudinal reinforcing members so that at least one-half of the hose remains flexible in a longitudinal direction for ease of handling. The hose structure is particularly useful for long length, fluid transporting hose used in ship-to-shore and ship-to-ship refueling.
