Hose clamp
A hose clamp includes a clamping band, a tensioning device and a positioning arrangement for positioning the hose clamp on a hose. The positioning arrangement includes at least two positioners. The two positioners may be arranged at a distance from each other in a circumferential direction of at least 120°. Axial stops may be arranged on both sides in a circumferential direction of at least one of the positioners.
1. A hose clamp comprising a clamping band, a tensioning device and a positioning arrangement for positioning the hose clamp on a hose, wherein the positioning arrangement comprises at least two positioners, wherein one of the positioners is mounted fixedly in circumferential direction on the clamping band, and the at least one additional positioner is movable in circumferential direction of the clamping band, wherein the movable positioner is arranged on a sheet metal bridge arranged in an interior of the clamping band.
2. The hose clamp according to claim 1 , wherein the at least two positioners are arranged at a distance from each other in circumferential direction of at least 120°.
3. The hose clamp according to claim 1 , wherein axial stops are arranged on both sides in circumferential direction of at least one of the positioners.
4. The hose clamp according to claim 1 , wherein the sheet metal bridge is comprised of a spring.
5. The hose clamp according to claim 1 , wherein the movable positioner is constructed integrally with the sheet metal bridge.
6. The hose clamp according to claim 1 , wherein the sheet metal bridge is arranged in an area of the clamping device.
7. The hose clamp according to claim 1 , wherein the hose clamp has a nominal dimension, and wherein a distance exists between the sheet metal bridge and a diametrically oppositely located section of the clamping band, wherein the distance is more than the nominal dimension.
8. The hose clamp according to claim 1 , wherein a spring device is mounted on an inner side of the clamping band.
