Abstract
The invention is concerned with the provision of a hose assembly in which the hose is clamped between a tube or nipple and a shell, and the shell is provided with a body portion which is crimped to the hose. The shell is entirely independent of and unattached to the tube or nipple, thereby facilitating removal of the shell from the assembly in a situation where the hose has burst or become damaged, and a new hose must be used to replace it in the assembly. The shell is provided with an inturned flange which functions as a stop for the end of the hose, and the tube or nipple is provided with an annular bead, one side of which functions as a stop to predetermine the position of the tube or nipple relatively to the end of the hose.
