Abstract: Locator systems and methods for hose clamps include at least one a locator tab. Each locator tab includes a main body, a clamp end, and at least one flange. The main body includes a crossbar having opposing first and second ends, a first leg extending from the first end, and a second leg extending from the second end. The clamp end extends from the main body and is configured to be secured to a hose. The at least one flange extends from the main body and is configured to retain a band of the hose clamp between the at least one flange and the crossbar until the band is tightened around the hose. The crossbar is non-parallel to the band when the band is retained between the at least one flange and the crossbar.

Abstract: Illustrative embodiments of locator systems and methods for hose clamps are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, a locator tab for a hose clamp includes a main body, a clamp end, and at least one flange. The main body includes a crossbar having opposing first and second ends, a first leg extending from the first end, and a second leg extending from the second end. The clamp end extends from the main body and is configured to be secured to a hose. The at least one flange extends from the main body and is configured to retain a band of the hose clamp between the at least one flange and the crossbar until the band is tightened around the hose. The crossbar is non-parallel to the band when the band is retained between the at least one flange and the crossbar.

Abstract: An air-to-water surface operating underwater viewing craft which succeeds in providing man with both speed and the same extravagant vision for underwater viewing that he/she possesses above the water with respect to field of view and clarity. This is achieved through proper implementation of a number of factors which are all locked in a perpetual relationship one to the other. The desired results are obtained by employment of a viewing window which is laterally curved around the sides of a prone viewers' face and which extends foreward and backwards sufficiently to exceed mans' field of vision threshold in all directions. The viewers' head is supported by a headrest which provides a viewing reference point for the viewers' eyes. Around this arrangement is built a flotational device which features two stabilizing pontoons positioned on starboard and port sides providing correct craft posture and predetermined draw. A two axis joystick controls two retracting electric thrusters providing full maneuverability.
