Disclosed is a cover bracket for holding a clamp having a screw housing in place on a hose without contaminating the screw housing with adhesive. The cover bracket includes a cover portion configured to receive a screw housing and a first runner and a second runner connected to one another by the cover portion. Each of the first and second runners includes a hose contacting surface and the first runner includes a channel in the hose contacting surface. The channel including an aperture extending through the first runner to an exterior of the first runner. Also disclosed is a method for attaching the cover bracket to the hose having the clamp thereon.

Assembly for attaching a clamp to a hose

A hose clamp includes a band including an outer layer comprising a first material and an inner layer comprising a second material different than the first material. A connector secures the band to itself. The second material is selected to enhance bonding between the band and a hose comprising a material different than the first material.

Hose clamp for a hose and assembly

A clamp assembly comprising a clamp including a band having and a screw housing mounted to the band with a worm screw disposed in the screw housing, the worm screw engaging the band for tightening the band; and a fastener including a bonding surface, mounted to the band at a position that is displaced from the screw and screw housing, such that the fastener can be adhered to the hose without interfering with the clamp assembly.

A fuel transport tube having improved fuel vapor permeation characteristics comprising an inner conductive nylon tubular structure containing a conductive agent selected from the group consisting of carbon fibers and carbon fibrils; an aluminum barrier layer on the outside surface of the nylon inner tubular layer; and a non-conductive nylon layer on the outer surface of the aluminum layer; and a method for making the fuel transport tube are disclosed.

A method of forming a gas impermeable joint in a fluid system includes: providing a tube having a metallic barrier layer disposed between an inner plastic layer and an outer plastic layer; forcing at least one of the inner plastic layer and the outer plastic layer into contact with a plastic surface of a component; and welding the at least one of the inner plastic layer and the outer plastic layer with the plastic surface to form the gas impermeable joint. The welding may include: spin welding, hot plate welding, vibration welding, and ultrasonic welding. The metallic barrier layer extends substantially to the component, thus improving the gas impermeability of the joint between the tube and the component.

A conductive tubular connector insert for use in a fuel conveying system to couple a first conductive polymeric tubular member to a second conductive polymeric tubular member such that electrical conductivity is insured in the system as described. The conductive tubular connector comprises: a first end having a first annular margin; a second end having a second annular margin; a first tubular body section having a first circumference; a second tubular body section having a second circumference; and an annular rib, wherein the first tubular body section is adjacent the first end and extends toward the annular rib along a longitudinal axis, and the second tubular body section extends from the annular rib toward the second end where, at a point intermediate the circumferential rib and the second end, the second tubular body section tapers radially inward forming a tapered surface terminating in a second annular margin adjacent the second end of the second tubular body section, the configuration of the conductive connector insert being such that, upon being implanted into an end of the first polymeric tubular member, the end of the first polymeric tubular structure forms a bead around the annular rib to secure the conductive connector insert therein leaving a portion of the second tubular body section extending out of the end of the first polymeric tubular member, wherein the end of the first polymeric tubular structure having the second tubular body section extending therefrom is inserted into an end of a second polymeric tubular member such that the conductive connector insert is in conductive contact with the conductive inner surface of the first polymeric tubular member and the conductive inner surface of the second polymeric tubular member to maintain conductive continuity therein.
