Abstract
A retention device is provided for positioning and retaining an open generally cylindrical hose clamp on a selected hose. The device extends generally about a longitudinal axis and has a retainer and a locator spaced axially from the retainer in side-by-side relationship. The locator and retainer are coupled together and the locator is adapted to hold the clamp while the retainer is adapted to engage the hose to maintain the device in position on the hose. The retainer is in the form of pair of looped hose engaging elements terminating at respective free ends and cantilevered to extend in opposite directions from a connecting web coupling the locator to the retainer.
