  • Patent number: 4675949
    Abstract: A clamp for a hose comprising a drum which is confined for rotation within a clip. The axis of rotation of the drum is aligned with the longitudinal axis of the hose. Bands, which are connected to the clip and encircle the hose, are attached to the drum. A bolt or screw head axially accessible at an end of the drum is rotated by a tool to wind the bands onto the drum and tighten them against the hose. The clip includes latch members that engage gears on the drum to maintain tension on the bands and prevent unwanted backwinding.
