ABSTRACT:
A hose and clamp assembly comprises a hose, a band-type clamp encircling the hose, and an elastomeric envelope bonded to the hose and attaching the clamp to the hose along a section of the clamp band. The elastomeric envelope is provided with at least one discontinuity to define a removable center section whereby the removable center section can be separated along the at least one discontinuity to form an open channel in the envelope and enable removal of the clamp. The at least one discontinuity can comprise a groove or a plurality of perforations. The at least one discontinuity can comprise parallel grooves aligned with the edges of the clamp band to define the removable center section. A channel is formed in the envelope by the removal of the removable center section and the clamp to provide a receptacle for proper positioning of the replacement clamp on the hose.
