ABSTRACT:
A connector is disclosed before attaching a flexible hose to a rigid tube in which the tube includes an outwardly and circumferentially extending bead around its free end. Both the hose and tube are circular in cross sectional shape. Furthermore, the hose is dimensioned so that, with the hose positioned around the tube and over the bead, the hose stretches outwardly and forms an annular bulge having a predetermined diameter around the bead. The connector includes an annular collar having a sleeve and radially inwardly extending flange at one of the sleeve. A circular throughbore is provided through the flange which has a preset diameter less than the predetermined diameter of the hose bulge around the bead. Similarly, an annular ring has an inside diameter less than the predetermined diameter and the ring is positioned over the hose. The ring and collar are secured together such that the ring and flange are positioned on opposite axial sides of the bead thereby securing the hose to the tube.
