Abstract
A hose clamp includes a clamping body formed by bending a band-shaped spring plate into a generally circular shape flexibly deformed into a contracted state and a spread state. The clamping body is attached to a hose before the hose is connected to a pipe. A holder is mounted on the clamping body to hold the clamping body in the spread state in which the clamping body is loosely fitted with an end of the hose. The holder releases the clamping body from the spread state so that the clamping body is deformed into the contracted state in which the clamping body clamps a junction of the hose and the pipe. A positioner positions the clamping body at the end of the hose, the positioner including a clamp retainer attached to an outer circumference of the clamping body and a locking element which engages the hose to prevent the clamping body from displacing axially and circumferentially with respect to the hose.
