Abstract

A connection of a hose clamp and a hose has a rubber-elastic ring that surrounds the hose detachably and with elastic pretension. The ring is positioned underneath a clamp strap of the hose clamp. The ring has radial hook-shaped first projections for locking the clamp strap of the hose clamp between the first projections by engaging across edges of the clamp strap. The first projections are formed on edges of the ring. The thickness of the ring in an area located axially between the first projections is 5% to 9% of the wall thickness of the hose.

Claims (12)

1. A connection of a hose clamp and a hose, comprising:

a rubber-elastic ring configured to surround the hose detachably and with elastic pretension;

wherein the ring is positioned underneath a clamp strap of the hose clamp;

wherein the ring comprises radial hook-shaped first projections that are configured to lock the clamp strap of the hose clamp between the first projections by engaging across edges of the clamp strap;

wherein the first projections are formed on edges of the ring;

wherein a thickness of the ring in an area located axially between the first projections is 5% to 9% of the wall thickness of the hose.

2. The connection according to claim 1 , wherein the hose clamp has a closure for tightening the clamp strap, wherein, viewed in a circumferential direction of the ring, two of the first projections are positioned as a first projection pair opposite one another in front of and two of the first projections are positioned as a second projection pair opposite one another behind the closure, respectively.

3. The connection according to claim 2 , wherein the ring comprises two hook-shaped second projections positioned opposite one another on the edges of the ring, respectively, wherein the second projections engage across the edges of the clamp strap, wherein a center of the second projections is spaced from a center between the first and second projection pairs in first and second circumferential directions of the hose clamp at an angular spacing of more than 90°.

4. The connection according to claim 3 , wherein the angular spacing in the first circumferential direction of the hose clamp is between 140° and 170°.

5. The connection according to claim 1 , wherein the edges of the ring extending between the first and second projections have beads having a radial outer cross-section that increases in opposite axial directions of the ring outwardly and radially outwardly.

6. The connection according to claim 5 , wherein the radial inner cross-section of the beads increases in opposite axial directions of the ring outwardly and radially inwardly.

7. The connection according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second projections have noses engaging across the edges of the clamp strap, wherein the noses have cross-sections that increase in a direction toward the opposed one of the first and second projections in a direction from a radial outer position to a radial inner position.
