Abstract
A hose clamp for joining flexible hose or tubing to an internal fitting, or to repair a break, or to join two lengths of such tubing, has a plurality of wraps of a stretched strand of material around the exterior with the end secured to the hose. The clamp is formed by stretching the strand so each wrap is under tension and wrapping the strand over the hose numerous times, and securing the ends of the strand to prevent unwinding. Various types of applications are described.
