Abstract

Abstract A hose clamping device has a steel clamp band adapted to be tightened around an elastic hose in a ring-like form such that its opposite ends overlap each other. A tightening mechanism is provided on a portion of the band near the underlying end thereof and adapted to pull or push the overlying end, thereby tightening or loosening the band on the hose. A stopper is provided on a portion of the band ahead of the overlying end and is adapted to be contacted by the overlying end, so as to stop the advance of the same. The stopper is constituted by a tab-like portion cut out from a portion of the band and raised in such a manner that the upper surface thereof faces the advance of the overlying end, so as to be pressed down by the overlying end when the latter is pulled by the tightening means. Any excessive tightening by the tightening mechanism only causes the stopper to bend towards the cut out by the pressure applied by the overlying end of the band. Thus, no substantial reduction in the clamping effect is caused by the bending of stopper, thus assuring a stable clamping of the hose on, for example, a pipe end.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 147 words
A hose clamping device comprising: a steel clamp band adapted to be tightened around an elastic hose in a ring-like form such that one end underlies the other; tightening means provided on a portion of said band near the underlying end thereof and adapted to pull or push said overlying end, thereby tightening or loosening said band on said hose; and a stopper provided on a portion of said band ahead of said overlying end and adapted to be contacted by said overlying end to stop the advance of the same; said stopper comprising a tab-like portion cut out from a portion of said band and raised such that the upper surface thereof faces the advance of said overlying end of said band, so as to be pressed down towards said cut out by said overlying end when said stopper is forcibly engaged by said overlying end.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 147 words
A hose clamping device comprising: a steel clamp band adapted to be tightened around an elastic hose in a ring-like form such that one end underlies the other; tightening means provided on a portion of said band near the underlying end thereof and adapted to pull or push said overlying end, thereby tightening or loosening said band on said hose; and a stopper provided on a portion of said band ahead of said overlying end and adapted to be contacted by said overlying end to stop the advance of the same; said stopper comprising a tab-like portion cut out from a portion of said band and raised such that the upper surface thereof faces the advance of said overlying end of said band, so as to be pressed down towards said cut out by said overlying end when said stopper is forcibly engaged by said overlying end.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 30 words
A hose clamping device according to claim 1, wherein said tab-like portion cut out from said portion of said band is raised substantially orthogonally to the plane of said band.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 18 words
A hose clamping device according to claim 1, wherein said clamp band is made of a rust-proof material.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 18 words
A hose clamping device according to claim 1, wherein said band has been subjected to a rust-proofing treatment.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 80 words
A hose clamping device according to claim 1, wherein said tightening means for pulling or pushing said overlying end includes a holder mounted on a portion of said band near the underlying end thereof, and a bolt rotatably carried by said holder such as to extend tangentially from the ring-like form of said band on said hose, said bolt having a screw thread engageable with a plurality of slits formed in a portion of said band near said overlying end.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 19 words
A hose clamping device according to claim 5, wherein a washer is disposed between said bolt and said holder.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 36 words
A hose clamping device according to claim 5, wherein said bolt is secured to said holder by means of snap ring which is provided on a side of said bolt opposite a head of said bolt.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 13 words
A hose clamping device according to claim 5, wherein said bolt is rust-proof.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 17 words
A hose clamping device according to claim 5, wherein said bolt is comprised of a rust-proof material.
