Abstract
A clamp for securing a protection hose to an electrical connector is formed as a cuff with a longitudinal gap. The cuff has an inherent bias which normally tends to close the gap. The cuff is provided with tool insertion elements for widening the gap to insert the protection hose into the cuff. When a tool is released the inherent bias generates force components so directed that the cuff will clamp the hose between the connector and the cuff. The tool insertion elements may also be used for electrically grounding the cuff made of electrically conducting material.
