摘要

The hose has a metal ribbed exterior and may be gripped by a metal ring with ribs which fit into the grooves in the hose cladding. The ring may fit into grooves in half shells with flared ends to accommodate movement of the hose. The holding clamp (10) has a fixed bottom part (16) and a hinged (18) top part (14) which can be swung up and away from the hose. A screw (40) passes through a through-bore (42) in the top part and engages in a female thread (44) in the bottom part. The half shells are held by two ridges and may swivel through a small angle.
