Abstract
The invention relates to a joint for connecting an elastically-deformable hose (14) and a rigid tube (22) having a smooth cylindrical outside surface. The tube (22) has a radial projection (26) on its outside surface which constitutes an abutment for the end of the hose (14) and also an anchor point for a clamping ring (28). The invention is applicable to mounting rubber hoses to rigid water inlet and outlet fittings on heat exchangers in motor vehicles, in particular.
