The QikClamp™ hose clamp is currently proceeding with final development. - Ingeniously Simple, Unlimited Applications! Hose clamps in use today are inefficient designs, especially when used on complex mechanisms such as motors, cooling systems, etc. Many times, it’s difficult, if not impossible, to gain access with a screwdriver to loosen or tighten a clamp without first removing obstructions around the clamp. Typical hose clamps incorporate a worm gear with a slotted head and a steel band requiring access at a right angle to the hose in order to access the mechanism.
The QikClamp™ hose clamp overcomes these deficiencies. It installs like a cable tie and tightens with a few clicks of a screwdriver making assembly work significantly faster. It can be removed just as fast. The QikClamp™ solves a typical deficiency with hose clamp designs by allowing the user to gain access to the clamping mechanism at a right angle to the band. In other words, it makes sense that there is clear, unobstructed access in-line with the centerline of the hose.
The QikClamp ™ hose clamp design uses existing banding material (unmodified) and simply replaces the typical worm-gear mechanism found on traditional hose clamps. This new, highly improved design is actually cheaper to manufacture than worm-gear design mechanisms and has much more utility. It is a perfect clamp design for both OEM and after-market applications.
