Abstract
A hose construction and method of making the same are provided, the hose construction comprising a tubular flexible hose having opposite ends, fastening structure, and a clamp fastened to one of the ends of the hose with the fastening structure for substantially circumferentially and radially inwardly clamping the one end onto a member that has been inserted into the one end, the clamp having end projections for being toggled together to circumferentially enlarge the clamp and hold the clamp out of its clamping condition and for being released from each other so as to be circumferentially moved apart from each other as the clamp circumferentially shrinks into its clamping condition by the natural spring force of the clamp, the fastening structure comprising a single spot of adhesive disposed between and against the clamp and the hose at a point on the hose that is located substantially diametrically opposite the point on the hose where the end projections of the clamp are adapted to be toggled together.
