Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A hose assembly ( 1 ) including a fluid passage ( 11 ), a male coupler ( 12 ) and a blocker ( 13 ). The fluid passage ( 11 ) has an outlet ( 1112 a ). The male coupler ( 12 ) is rotatably sleeved on the fluid passage ( 11 ) at the outlet ( 1112 a ). The blocker ( 13 ) is protruded from the fluid passage ( 11 ) at the outlet ( 1112 a ) to restrict detachment of the male coupler ( 12 ) from the outlet ( 1112 a ) of the fluid passage ( 11 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A hose assembly ( 1 ), comprising: a fluid passage ( 11 ), having an outlet ( 1112 a ); a male coupler ( 12 ), rotatably sleeved on the fluid passage ( 11 ) near the outlet ( 1112 a ); a blocker ( 13 ), protruded from the fluid passage ( 11 ) at the outlet ( 1112 a ) to restrict detachment of the male coupler ( 12 ) from the outlet ( 1112 a ) of the fluid passage ( 11 ); and a sleeve ( 15 ), rotatably sleeved over the fluid passage ( 11 ), wherein the sleeve ( 15 ) is fixed to the male coupler ( 12 ) from a side of the male coupler ( 12 ) away from the outlet ( 1112 a ), the sleeve ( 15 ) exposes a thread part ( 121 ) of the male coupler ( 12 ), and the thread part ( 121 ) exposed by the sleeve ( 15 ) is rotatable with respect to the fluid passage ( 11 ) through fixity between the sleeve ( 15 ) and the male coupler ( 12 ). 2 . The hose assembly ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the fluid passage ( 11 ) comprises a support part ( 111 ) and a tube part ( 112 ), the support part ( 111 ) comprises a first portion ( 1111 ) and a second portion ( 1112 ) that are connected to each other, the second portion ( 1112 ) has the outlet ( 1112 a ) at a side thereof away from the first portion ( 1111 ), the tube part ( 112 ) is fixedly sleeved on the first portion ( 1111 ), the male coupler ( 12 ) is rotatably sleeved on the second portion ( 1112 ), and the blocker ( 13 ) is disposed at the side of the second portion ( 1112 ) away from the first portion ( 1111 ). 3 . The hose assembly ( 1 ) according to claim 2 , wherein the first portion ( 1111 ) of the support part ( 111 ) is engaged with the tube part ( 112 ) to secure fixity between the tube part ( 112 ) and the support part ( 111 ). 4 . The hose assembly ( 1 ) according to claim 2 , further comprising a ferrule ( 14 ) disposed on the tube part ( 112 ) of the fluid passage ( 11 ), wherein the ferrule ( 14 ) secures fixity between the tube part ( 112 ) and the support part ( 111 ). 5 . The hose assembly ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , further comprising a ferrule ( 14 ) fixedly sleeved on a tube part ( 112 ), wherein the ferrule ( 14 ) is located at a side of the male coupler ( 12 ) away from the blocker ( 13 ) to restrict movement of the male coupler ( 12 ) between the blocker ( 13 ) and the ferrule ( 14 ). 6 . The hose assembly ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the blocker ( 13 ) is in a loop shape to form a collar.
