A clamp coupling includes clamp segments and a connecting section including a fastening section and a contact section. The contact section connects the clamp segments and includes a changing means to change a spaced distance between the clamp segments. The fastening section includes an externally threaded body and an internally threaded body for holding the clamp segments thereby to reduce the spaced distance between the clamp segments and connect objects. A method of fastening the clamp coupling includes holding the shim in the contact section between one ends of the clamp segments in a case that adjustment is made so that a circumferential length of the clamp segments is increased and removing the shim from the contact section so that the clamp segments are brought into direct contact with each other in a case that adjustment is made so that the circumferential length of the clamp segments is shortened.

A hose clip includes a clip band and a clamping device. A receiving region is configured between axial edge regions of the clip band. The receiving region extends radially outwardly and in the circumferential direction. The receiving region is interrupted in the region of the clamping device.

A hose clamp fastener positive locking device is provided that comprises a two-legged, pronged device adapted to secure about the fastener housing of a hose clamp and prevent rotation of a slotted fastener disposed therein. The device comprises a first and second leg joined to an upstanding member. The upstanding member engages the slotted fastener head of the hose clamp, while the legs are positioned about the sides of the fastener housing. The distal ends of the legs are pinched together about the end of the fastener housing to secure the upstanding member and the legs to the fastener housing.

The collar has a metal belt (10), a pair of projecting lugs (12, 14), a tightening rod (16) disposed in holes in the lugs, and tightening members (16A, 16B) co-operating with the rod and with bearing portions of the lugs. At least one of the lugs in the pair is a lug (14) having an extension, the bearing portion of which lug is formed in an extension (17) of the lug, which extension is folded over towards the rear of the lug, and is provided with a hole for the tightening rod. The extension (17) and the front portion (15) of the lug (14) having an extension are interconnected via a strip portion (20) forming a link loop defining an axial tunnel having its two axial ends open, the tunnel being shaped so that the angle of inclination between the extension (17) and the front portion (15) of the lug can change when the collar is tightened.

Profiled clamp that includes a clamping element, a sealing element having elastically deformable spacers on a radial outside, and a profile band on which the sealing element is held secured against loss. The elastically deformable spacers bear against an inside of the profile band in a non-positive manner.
