Abstract
An assembly is provided for attaching a clamp to a hose. The assembly includes a hose, a clamp, a cover bracket and an adhesive. The clamp includes a band and a screw housing mounted to the band with a screw disposed in the screw housing. The screw engages the band to tighten the band and draw the band around the hose. The cover bracket has an opening for receiving the screw housing. The cover bracket includes a cover portion for the screw housing and a base portion extending from the cover portion. The base portion includes a bonding surface for attaching the cover bracket to the hose and a channel located between the bonding surface and the band. The adhesive is applied to the bonding surface such that the cover bracket is adhered to the hose without interfering with the clamp operation.
