ABSTRACT:
A hose clamp with supplemental holding fingers comprising: a worm drive clamp of a resilient material positionable in a loop about the free end of a hose to be clamped to an interior cylindrical member, the clamp having one free end with recesses for use with a worm in tightening the clamp; a tightening member having a radially interior end secured to the interior face of the clamp adjacent to the recesses with a hollow tubular member radially outward thereof, the tubular member having internal threads with a threaded rotatable member interior thereof, the rotatable member having a component at one end for rotation thereof whereby the threads of the rotatable member function to cooperate with the recesses of the clamp for movement thereof to tighten or loosen the clamp; and a pair of generally V-shaped fingers each with a flat central section secured to the interior surface of the clamp at diametrically opposed points, each of the fingers extending at obtuse angles from the central section in opposite directions for applying an initial holding force between the clamp and the tube to be clamped while the rotatable member is rotated in one direction or another to tighten or loosen the clamp.
