Abstract
A hose clamp, which may be completely made of plastic, comprises two clamping stirrups which can be anchored in clamping position by interaction of a tongue on one stirrup and a toothed section of the other stirrup. The hose to be clamped can either extend through coaxial openings of the clamping stirrups or be introduced between the stirrups from the side. In the first case, the clamp can only be removed over a free end of the hose while, in the second case, the clamp can be positioned at any point along the hose as desired.
Claims4
A clamping device for regulating the flow of liquid passing through a flexible hose, comprising two clamping stirrups gripping the hose therebetween, the clamping stirrups being bendably connected with each other at one end thereof and carrying interacting securing elements at the opposite end thereof, said securing elements being releasable and being adapted to anchor the clamping stirrups in different positions, and further comprising in said both ends of the clamping stirrups aligned passages for receiving the hose, said clamping stirrups having a pair of interacting clamping edges arranged at right angles to a hose extending through said passages for changing the cross-section of the hose, and also two additional spaced pairs of clamping ribs extending in the direction of said passages, said clamping ribs being adapted to change the cross section of the hose when the hose extends across said clamping device at a right angle to the direction of said passages.
