In a holder having a holder base and holding arms and used for holding a hose clamp in position, the holder base is so constructed as to be capable of being positioned on the outer periphery of an annular hose clamp and a pair of holding arms protrude from each of a pair of opposite lateral edges of the holder base. Each pair of holding arms are so shaped as to define a pair of opposed arcs extending along a circumference A having a diameter somewhat smaller than the outside diameter of a hose. Each holding arm has a sharp projection B1 formed on its inner peripheral surface at its distal end and directed substantially toward the center of the circumference A, or more inwardly than it. The clamp holder facilitates the preliminary holding of a hose clamp in position on a hose without damaging the hose, and without slipping off the hose or being displaced easily.
A clamp holder for fixing a hose clamp in position, comprising a holder base and holding arms formed from an elastically deformable material, wherein the holder base is so constructed as to be capable of being positioned on the outer periphery of an annular hose clamp, and the holding arms consist of a pair of holding arms protruding from each of a pair of lateral edges of the holder base and forming opposed arcs lying along a circumference A having a diameter somewhat smaller than the outside diameter of a hose, each holding arm having a sharp projection B1 formed on the inner peripheral surface of its distal end and directed substantially toward the center of the circumference A or more inwardly than it.
