A hose construction, fastening member therefor and methods of making the same are provided, the hose construction comprising a tubular flexible hose having opposite ends and an outer peripheral surface, a fastening member, and a clamping unit fastened to one of the ends of the hose with the fastening member for substantially circumferentially and radially inwardly clamping the one end onto a member that has been inserted into the one end, the fastening member having a part thereof secured to the outer peripheral surface of the hose and having a recess therein that receives part of the clamping unit therein, the fastening member having snap-fit structure for holding the part of the clamping unit in the recess thereof before the fastening member is secured to the hose.
In a method of making a hose construction comprising a tubular flexible hose having opposite ends and an outer peripheral surface means, fastening means, and a clamping means fastened to one of said ends of said hose with said fastening means for substantially circumferentially and radially inwardly clamping said one end onto a member that has been inserted into said one end, said fastening means comprising a fastening member having a part thereof engaging and secured to said outer peripheral surface means of said hose and having recess means therein that receives part of said clamping means therein, the improvement comprising the steps of forming said fastening member with means for holding said part of said clamping means in said recess means before said fastening member is secured to said hose, the step of forming said fastening member with means for holding said part of said clamping means in said recess means comprising the step of forming said means for holding as a snap-fit means, and forming said fastening member to have a surface means disposed between opposed ends thereof with said surface means having said recess means therein and with said surface means defining said part of said fastening member that is secured to said hose.
In a method of making a fastening means for a hose construction comprising a tubular flexible hose having opposite ends and an outer peripheral surface means, and a clamping means fastened to one of said ends of said hose with said fastening means for substantially circumferentially and radially inwardly clamping said one end, said a member that has been inserted into said one end, said fastening means comprising a fastening member having a part thereof adapted to be engaged against and secured to said outer peripheral surface means of said hose and having recess means therein that is adapted to receive part of said clamping means therein, the improvement comprising the steps of forming said fastening member with means for holding said part of said clamping means in said recess means before said fastening member is secured to said hose, the step of forming said fastening member with means for holding said part of said clamping means in said recess means comprising the step of forming said means for holding as a snap-fit means, and forming said fastening member to have a surface means disposed between opposed ends thereof with said surface means having said recess means therein and with said surface means defining said part of said fastening member that is secured to said hose.
