Article having hard film, a flexible body and a fiber layer disposed therebetween
 This invention relates to a flexible article comprising rubberlike body having a surface hard film, e.g., a hose, a handrail, a belt or a diaphragm, wherein a fiber layer comprising non-woven or woven fabrics is positioned between the surface hard film and the rubberlike body by use of an adhesive to eliminate generation of the so-called joint cracking phenomenon, i.e., extension of cracking to the rubberlike body accompanying cracking at the hard film caused by any shock.
