A hose clamp includes a clamping strip and a tightening device for tightening the clamping strip. A first clip element that is arranged on the clamping strip allows the hose clamp to be secured to a hose at an axially defined distance from a hose end. A second clip element that is arranged on the clamping strip places the clamping strip at a distance (A) from the outer surface of the hose.

A pipe connector has a tube and two binding rings. The tube is made from a soft material and forms at least one fixing segment on two ends. The two binding rings are mounted on the two ends of the tube respectively. Each binding ring has at least one locating segment. The amount of the at least one locating segment is equal to the amount of the at least one fixing segment of the tube. The at least one fixing segment engages with the at least one locating segment to fix the binding ring and the tube. Thus, a user only needs to expand the tube to mount the tube onto a water pipe instead of heating it. Alternatively, engaging the fixing segment with the locating segment prevents the binding ring from moving relatively to the tube.

A lug used to construct a band clamp. The lug includes a rod receiving portion connected to a band receiving portion. The rod receiving portion has a distal portion opposite a proximal portion and a through-channel that allows a threaded rod to pass therethrough. The band receiving portion has head and tail portions and a passageway that allows the band to travel over the head and tail portions. The band receiving portion allows the band to be wrapped partway around the head portion after traveling over the head portion and thereafter to travel under both the head and tail portions. The proximal portion is closer to the passageway than the distal portion. The rod applies a tightening force directly to the band receiving portion and/or the proximal portion of the rod receiving portion. The rod does not apply the tightening force directly to the distal portion.

A hose clamp and various methods are disclosed. The hose clamp includes a spring liner.

A tubular seal is formed of an elastic material and equipped on the outer periphery of a first tube. A second tube is inserted in the tubular seal and connected with the first tube via the tubular seal. A clamp is in a strap shape formed of a metallic material and is attached on an outer periphery of the tubular seal. The second tube or the clamp has a tab, which is protruded in a radial direction. The tubular seal has a slit extending in the radial direction. The tab is engaged with and latched on the slit.

The disclosure relates to a spring clamp, having a clamp band and a positioning device for pre-positioning the spring clamp on a hose end of a hose. The positioning device having a support band and a contact region, and the support band having. The positioner having a fixing means arranged at the end of the support band, and the support band having a retainer at another end of the support band. A web is formed in the support band between the contact region and the positioner. The support band has at least two regions in the region of the positioner, the first region extending from the web away from the clamp band and the second region extending substantially perpendicularly from the first region.
