ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A fluid conduit assembly is provided herein. The assembly comprises a first and second conduit means adapted to be connected and disconnected; a first electrical connector device carried by the first conduit means; a second electrical connector device carried by the second conduit means; and means locking the electrical connector devices together with same first and second conduit means connected, the locking means assuring electrical continuity through the devices even upon exerting forces tending to pull the conduit mean apart; the first conduit means being a flexible polymeric hose comprising a collar having at least one shoulder therein disposed transverse a longitudinal axis of the hose, the collar comprising a polymeric hose connector bonded to the hose as an integral part thereof; the first electrical connector device comprising a female connector device embedded in the hose connector; the se- cond electrical connector device comprising a male connector device comprised of a compressible resilient polymeric material having a shoulder defined there on having a compressible resilient apex being adapted to be yieldingly com- pressed and urged into locking engagement with the shoulder in the collar so that the shoulders comprise the locking means, the compressible apex returning to its original configuration after release of compressive forces thereon and serving to engage the shoulder in the collar and yieldingly hold the male con- nector device in locking engagement. This fluid conduit assembly is particu- larly adapted for use in tank or cannister type vacuum cleaners. The electri- cal components thereof are held in locking engagement even with loads being imposed on the fluid conduit assembly by rough service useage.
