Abstract

A concrete boom hose is provided with a first end that is connected to the outermost end of a series of concrete pipes and a second end through which the flowing concrete exits. The second end is provided with an inner diameter that is smaller than the inner diameter of the first end that is connected to the concrete pipe.

Description

CA 02416217 2003-O1-13 w TAPERED BOOM HOE
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to boom hoses utilized in a concrete delivery system.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Typically, concrete is delivered at a job site to remote areas via a system that pumps the concrete through a series of boom connected pipes terminating in a flexible delivery hose.
It is desirable to slow down the flow of concrete from the end of the boom to the tip of the boom hose in order to reduce the force of free falling poured concrete and thus decrease the impact force against the walls of the concrete forms. It is also desirable to slaw down the flow of concrete in order to reduce the splashing of concrete around the area being poured and to better control the air content of the poured concrete.
In the past, the flow of concrete has been slowed by utilizing a number of methods. One such method was the use of a metal boom "reducer" (funnel). The use of a reducer and its associated coupling adds additional weight to the boom, especially when the reducer is full of concrete. With today's modern boom lengths, the added weight presents serious problems that often will require additional counter weights to 2 o keep the concrete pumping truck balanced.
The flaw has else been slowed down by utilizing a "Ram's Horn" that forces the flowing concrete through a spiral in order to slow it down.
The industry also utilizes a bend or kink in the hose in order to reduce the inner diameter of the hose. ' 2 ~ However, both of these methods have the drawback of disrupting the smooth, even flow of the concrete.
It is the object of the present invention to provide a boom hose that slows down the flow of concrete without the need of any additional equipment such as a Ram's Hom or metal reducer. It is also an object ofthe pxesent invention to provide a boom 3 o hose that will slaw the flow of concrete and yet provide a smooth, even flow to better control the air content of the pumped concrete.
_1_ BRIEF SIT~~11~IARY OF THE INVENTION
A boom hose for use in a concrete pumping system of the type utilizing a concrete pump to provide the flow of concrete through a series of concrete pipe sections includes a flexible hose having a first end coupled to the outer end of a concrete pipe, with the first end having a first inner diameter.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the boom hose is provided with a second end that has a second inner diameter that is smaller than the first inner diameter.
The present invention thus provides a boon. hose that slows the t~Iow of 1 o concrete from the end of the concrete pipe without the need of any additional equipment such as a Ram's Horn or metal reducer.
The present invention also provides a smooth, even flow of concrete from the end of the hose by eiim.inating the free flow of concrete from the tip of the boom to the tip of the hose. The taper of the hose allows the hose. to remain full of concrete for a ~5 longer period of time, thus providing a uniform, even flow.
Various other features, objects, and advantages of the invention will be made apparent from the following detailed description and the drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The drawings illustrate the best mode presently contemplated of carrying 2 0 out the invention.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a side view of a concrete pumping system utilizing a boom hose constructed according to the present invention;
Fig. 2 is a side view of a prior art boom hose;
2 5 Fig. 3 is a side view of a boom hose constructed according to the present invention;
Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the outer end of the boom hose; and Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the inner end of the boom hose.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE; INVENTION
3 o As shown in. Figure l, a concrete pumping system 10 includes a concrete pump 12 mounted on a truck chassis 14.
Concrete is delivered to a remote site via a. concrete boom 16 comprised of a series of interconnected c~ncrete pipes 18 terminating in a flexible boom hose 20.
As shown in Figure 2, a prior art boom hose would have a uniform diameter throughout its length.
In accordance with the present invention, as shown in Figures 3-5, boon hose 20 is provided with a fret end 24 that is connected to concrete pipe 16 via pipe coupling 26. First end 24 is provided with an inner diameter 30 of approximately five inches.
In accordance with the invention, boom hose 20 is provided with a second end 28 through which the pumped concrete exits. Second end 28 is provided with an inner diameter 32 of appxoximately four inches so that the flow of concrete from pipe 16 is slowed as it travels through boom hose 20.
Typically, boom hose 20 has a length of approximately twelve feet.
Obviously, the above referenced inner diameters and hose lengths can be varied according to the requirements ofthe Sob as long as the inner diameter 32 of hose tip 28 is smaller than the inner diameter 30 of the hose at its connection point 24.
It is recognized that other equivalents, alternatives, and modifications aside from those expressly stated, are possible and within the scope of the appended claims.
