Patent attributes
A hose clamp for supporting a hose with respect to a machine. The hose clamp may include a deformable clamping element comprising a section of material at least partially surrounding an opening. The opening extends through a thickness of the clamping element and is configured to receive the hose. The hose clamp additionally comprises a support element configured to secure the clamping element to the machine. The support element is further configured to compress the clamping element along a direction of the thickness of the clamping element, thereby deforming the clamping element and causing the clamping element to constrict around the hose.
