An assembly for clamping a tube includes a fitting including a land, a bolt housing, legs, and a tooth on each leg, a band surrounding an axis, contacting the land and formed with holes spaced along the band, and a bolt located in the bolt housing, including helical teeth engaged with said holes for changing a diameter of the band and forcing the tooth toward the band as the band is tightened by rotating the bolt.

This invention relates to a a hose clamp with sleeve, which includes a clamp and a sleeve as main components combined together. Said clamp made of metal material, wherein said clamp is provided with a band, there is a joint member and a telescopic tightening component set on both ends of said band. Said sleeve covering on the outer surface of said clamp, wherein said sleeve is made of elastic material. The sleeve can be made integral with the band and the telescopic tightening component of the clamp, or the sleeve can be an independent structure. Therefore, the a hose clamp with sleeve has the structural strength of metal and the elastic sleeve can be used for a buffer between the metal clamp and the metal hoses to provide the effect of shock absorption and anti-slip, and the elastic sleeve also can be used for solving the problem of friction, scratch and noise generated by the metal clamp directly contacts with the metal hoses.

A hose clamp includes a band and a worm drive mechanism. The band has a set of slots located between a first and second circumferential end of the band. The worm drive mechanism is connected to the band and causes radial contraction of the band to tighten the band. The worm drive mechanism includes a screw that engages the set of slots for radial contraction of the band. A clamping-pressure-restoring construction is provided in order to maintain a seal between the hose clamp and an underlying hose during use of the hose clamp and when the underlying hose experiences size expansion and contraction due to, for example, temperature fluctuations.

A clamp includes a band and a tensioner. The tensioner includes a fixed mount coupled to the band, a screw housing engaged with the fixed mount, and a screw received in the screw housing. The screw housing and the screw can move relative to the fixed mount between an engaged position and a disengaged position. When a portion of the band including a plurality of slots is positioned between the fixed mount and the screw housing, a thread of the screw is received in the plurality of slots when the screw housing and the screw are in the engaged position but is spaced apart from the plurality of slots when the screw housing and the screw are in the disengaged position.

An example embodiment of a lockout shaft is provided that is used in combination with a tensioning device, such as a manual or automatic ratchet, which is used to tighten (or release) webbing that secures an item. The lockout shaft is capable of providing additional strength to the holding power of the webbing, with the additional strength being equal or greater to the strength of the webbing itself.

A method of assembling a clamp to a flexible hose for a vehicle. The method comprises providing the hose with a magnetic strip such that the magnetic strip has its main direction of extension in a circumferential direction of the hose; providing a clamp to the hose, at least a part of the clamp being magnetically attracted by the magnetic strip so that the part of the clamp becomes aligned with the magnetic strip along the circumferential direction of the hose; and tightening the clamp to the hose when the clamp has become aligned with the magnetic strip. The disclosure also relates to a clamping arrangement.
