[Title <strong>of</strong> the Invention]<br />

Ready-mixed concrete transfer hose and the process <strong>of</strong> cleaning<br />

[Claims]<br />

1. A ready-mixed concrete transfer hose including a pumping tube (8) attached directly to<br />

the concrete hopper (2) and pressure-transfer hose (17) to be connected to the pumping<br />

tube,wherein the connecting pipe (10) is used to make the connection <strong>of</strong> the above hoses<br />

(8 and 17), and the connecting pipe having cock (11). (See Figures 1, 2 and 3)<br />

2. The process <strong>of</strong> cleaning ready-mixed concrete residue by shutting by means <strong>of</strong> placing a<br />

hydrophobic resilient material (18, 18a) at the end <strong>of</strong> the pressure-hose, severing the<br />

connection between the pumping tube (18) and pressure-transfer tube (17) and at the<br />

same time opening the cock (11) <strong>of</strong> the connection pipe (10). Following this<br />

processesimilar hydrophobic resilient material is sent out <strong>of</strong> the hopper by water-pressure,<br />

cleaning the inside <strong>of</strong> the pumping hose and the connection pipe. In the next step, shut <strong>of</strong>f<br />

the cock <strong>of</strong> the connecting tube, send the hydrophobic resilient material placed at the end<br />

<strong>of</strong> the pressure-hose down the inside by means <strong>of</strong> the water pressure.<br />

[Excerpt from Detail Description <strong>of</strong> the Invention and Drawings]<br />

This invention concerns the ready-mixed concrete transfer hoses and their cleaning<br />

process. The pumping tube and pressure-transfer hose are connected by means <strong>of</strong> connecting<br />

pipe having a cock, which can be opened or closed, thereby enabling the cleaning <strong>of</strong> the<br />

pumping tube alone or by sending hydrophobic resilient material down the pumping tube,<br />

connecting pipe and pressure-transfer hose to remove residues <strong>of</strong> ready-mixed concrete<br />

completely from all <strong>of</strong> the parts. Conventional transfer hoses lacked the capability to be<br />

completely cleaned because the pumping tube and pressure-transfer hose were directly<br />

connected. It was particularly difficult to clean the inside <strong>of</strong> the pumping tube.<br />

[Explanation]<br />

The related invention (Claim 2), the cleaning process is to be effected on the ready-mixed<br />

concrete transfer hoses and is to maintain the function to transfer the ready-mixed concrete<br />

transfer. There<strong>for</strong>e, the two inventions have the relationship <strong>of</strong> the product and the process <strong>of</strong><br />

handling this product.<br />
