ABSTRACT:
For clamping a hose or flexible pipe on an insert of corresponding cross-sectional shape, there is disclosed a hose clip which is of generally coil spring configuration and which has two mutually engageable hooked end portions each projecting generally outwardly of the coil, the hose clip having, in its relaxed condition, a non-integral number of turns of a characteristic diameter and being constructed such that, on elastically deforming the hose clip (without plastically deforming it) to bring the hooks of the hooked end portions thereof into mutual engagement, the hose clip assumes its clamping position and the configuration of a coil spring having an integral number of turns the diameter of which is smaller than the said characteristic diameter. Preferably, the hose clip is formed of spring steel wire and comprises one complete and one incomplete turn of the wire when the hose clip is in its relaxed condition.
The invention further provides a method of connecting a hose or flexible pipe to an insert using a hose clip according to the invention. There are also disclosed embodiments of tool which may conveniently be used in the method of the invention.
