At least one adjustable clamp device is disclosed that includes a catch member, a base member, a latch member, and a fine adjustment mechanism and is designed to clamp to a targeted object in a secure fashion. At least one quick release clamp device is disclosed that includes a catch member, a base member, a latch member, and a quick release mechanism and is designed to clamp to a targeted object in a secure fashion and to be quickly removable from the targeted object. At least one method for using the adjustable clamp device is disclosed that includes: wrapping an adjustable clamp device around a targeted object; placing a tool around the adjustable clamp device; squeezing the tool and thereby squeezing the adjustable clamp device around the targeted object; and causing the latch member to operably connect to the catch member in a locked position.

A locking-ring closure for fastening lids on containers has: at least one screw lock and further has an open locking ring (1) having a U- or V-shaped cross section, bearing blocks (3) and (4) arranged at the ends of the locking ring, one of which bearing blocks has a through-passage hole and the other an internal thread, a screw (2) which extends through the through-passage hole in the one bearing block (3) and engages by way of its thread in the internal thread of the other bearing block (4), wherein the screw extends beyond the width of this bearing block and, on the portion that emerges from the bearing block, carries a fixed threaded ring (5) enclosing said portion. The screw (2) has, at its end opposite the screw head (6), a portion (8) adjacent to the threaded ring and arranged on that side of the threaded ring (5) that faces the screw head, which portion (8) has no thread engaging in the internal thread of the bearing block (4) and extends at least over the width of the bearing block.

The present application provides various examples that may include a hose and a system. The hose may include a hose body, where an end segment of the hose body may be foldable over a clamp seat area of the hose body. There may be an opening in the end segment sized and shaped to provide access to a clamp, so as to better hold the clamp in place, while still enabling access.
