<p>The invention provides a locating device for locating and holding a hose clamp (50) on a cylindrical hose (56) having a selected radius of curvature. The device has an engaging element (22) which is generally cylindrical about a first axis. A pair of resilient hose engaging elements (24, 26) are attached to the clamp engaging element and spaced axially with the clamp engaging element between the hose engaging elements. When the hose is contained in the device the clamp engaging element combines with the hose engaging elements to retain the clamp orthogonally with respect to the hose for more efficient engagement on the hose.</p> |
