International Classification:

F16L 33/12

Abstract:

A hose clamp includes an open ended ring body having a first engagement pin located at one end portion, a second engagement pin located at another end portion, and a retaining clip located adjacent the first engagement pin; and a connecting lever detachably attached to the ring body, and including a lever body having a first pivot notch located on one end, a second pivot notch spaced away from the first pivot notch, and a clipping slot located at another end. The first notch of the lever is connected to the first engagement pin of the ring, and the second notch is connected to the second engagement pin of the ring.
