Abstract

See full text

A bending strain relief includes a generally transparent, flexible member for receipt over a hose assembly. An opening extends longitudinally through the strain relief having a cross-sectional dimension greater than the cross-sectional dimension of the hose assembly. The cross-sectional dimension is also designed for interference fit with a swaged region or coupling end of the hose assembly. A stiffener member having a generally helical conformation extends from an outer end of the bending strain relief toward an inner end thereof. A first region of the bending strain relief encapsulates the stiffener member therein, and a second region is void of any stiffener member. The longitudinal opening of the bending strain relief is preferably non-circular and is designed to provide an interference fit with a coupling nut to hold the bending strain relief in place.
