Abstract
The invention provides a positioning device engaged loosely on a prestressed hose clamp to locate and orientate the hose clamp on a hose. The device is adapted to engage about the clamp and has inwardly facing pegs which serve both to locate the device loosely on the clamp and to engage the hose to bias the clamp into engagement with the hose thereby holding the clamp orthogonally with respect to the hose.
