<p>A clamp (10) for a hose (26) includes a loop (12), for disposing around the hose (26), which has two axially spaced apart looped ends (14,16). The clamp (10) has a force generator (18), for drawing together the two looped ends (14,16), and which is connected to the two looped ends (14,16). The force generator (18) has at least one disc spring (22) mounted thereon. A spacer member (20) is mounted on the force generator (18) between the disc spring (22) and one of the looped ends (14,16) for axially transferring a clamping force from the force generator (18) to the looped ends (14,16). The clamping force is sufficient to axially draw together the looped ends (14,16) so as to clamp the hose (26).</p> |
