ABSTRACT:
An assembly for connecting an end of a hose to a spigot centered on an axis has an annular radially outwardly projecting collar formed on the spigot so that the hose end can be fitted over the spigot axially outward of the collar and a pair of inner shells having concave inner surfaces. An axially extending hinge bolt pivotally interconnects the inner shells and together with a lever and a spring can move the shells between a closed position with their inner surfaces pressed radially inward against the hose end fitted over the spigot and an open position spaced radially outward from the hose end fitted over the spigot. Respective outer shells integrally fixed on the inner shells and each have an axially inner end formed with a radially inwardly directed flange that engages in the closed position radially inward past the collar of the spigot axially inward of the collar so that the flanges and collar prevent the shells from being pulled axially outward off the spigot in the closed position. The outer shells also each have an outwardly flared axially outer end spaced axially outward substantially past the spigot and inner shells.
