A protective device (5, 5″, 5″, 5′″, 5″″) is provided for a hose clip (4) that connects a hose end (2) to a hose connection (3). The protective device includes a protective body (8, 8′, 8″, 8′″, 8″″) made of a plastic. In the assembled state, the protective body (8, 8′, 8″, 8′″, 8″″) surrounds the circumference of the hose clip (4) and accommodates the hose clip (4) at least in its clamping region via a radially oriented molding (32), and covers the hose clip (4) over the width thereof extending in the longitudinal direction of the hose connection (3). The protective body (8, 8′, 8″, 8′″, 8″″) has ring segments (9, 10) that can be connected to one another at their free ends (12, 13), and the segments are connected moveably to one another at their ends (14, 17) facing away from the free ends (12, 13).

This application provides a clamp and a method for using the same. The clamp includes a clamping band which is wound to form a clamp body defining an accommodating area. The clamp body is provided with a tightening lug. The clamp body includes an overlapping portion and a single layer portion which is provided with a positioning member. The positioning member is connected to the clamp body such that the positioning member is slidable toward an inner side of the accommodating area with one end extending into the accommodating area. An inner wall of the clamp body is gradually approaching an outer wall of a pipe with the tightening of the clamp, the positioning member moves outward relative to the clamp body until the inner wall of the clamp body rests against the outer wall of the pipe, and then the positioning member falls off from the clamp body.

A hose clamp having a clamping band (10) with band sections overlapping in the closed state of the hose clamp, on which hooks (12, 19) are arranged for closing the hose clamp, and with a tightening device (15) arranged in the outer band section for tightening the hose clamp around an object to be clamped. The overlapped inner end of the clamping band (10) is formed as a tongue (11) with a reduced width compared to the clamping band (10) and is received by a tongue channel (45) arranged in the outer band section. The tongue (11) is stamped out of the clamping band (10) and has outwardly projecting side flaps (42) and a bottom part (43) which is arranged between them, formed from the clamping band (10) and rises continuously from the clamping band (10) up to the height of the side flaps (42).

This disclosure relates to a hose, such as a fire zone hose, that can include an inner tube, a thermal protection sleeve and a braided member. The inner tube can form a flow path for conveying fluid. The thermal protection sleeve can be disposed around the inner tube. The thermal protection sleeve can include an inner surface and an outer surface such that the inner tube is positioned inwards from an inner surface of the thermal protection sleeve. The braided member can be disposed around the thermal protection sleeve, such that the braided member deforms the outer surface of the thermal protection sleeve. Additionally, the hose can include a braid retainer. The braid retainer can be disposed around an end of the braided member to secure the braided member to the thermal protection sleeve.
