ABSTRACT:
A strain relief clamp for a washing machine drain hose which includes a pair of hinged clamp members each having a plastic plate with a semi-circular indent adapted for receiving a corrugated drain hose from opposite sides thereby completely surrounding and clamping the drain hose. Each clamp member has a wall which is perpendicular to the plate, which wall members cooperatively form a neck which conforms to the shape of the aperture through which the drain hose exits the washer cabinet. Each wall has a plurality of locking tabs such that when the neck is inserted into the aperture until the plates contact the cabinet panel, the locking tabs snap into place and prevent removal of the strain relief clamp. The hose is thereby securely clamped at its exit through the cabinet panel thereby providing strain relief for the interconnection between the drain hose and the pump.
