Name for Jubilee clips in USA

Returning to USA/UK tool terms etc

What is the name in the USA for what we call
a Jubilee clip in the UK, presumably named in
Queen Victoria's jubilee year of 1897.?

Wrap round flexible steel tightenable band around flexible pipe unions.

Jubilee is just a registered trade mark given to the "Worm Drive Hose
Clip" which L. Robinson & Co. invented in 1921.

I don't know what they are called in the USA but in Australia I have
never heard of them referred to as "Jubilee clips". I suspect that was
simply due to the fact that we didn't import any of those manufactured
by L. Robinson & Co. We have always known them as "Worm Drive Hose
Clips" and I wouldn't bve surprised if it wasn't the case in the USA.
For example, the Norma company ( Germany) has manufacturing plants in
many countries including the USA and this is a typical product page
for their hose clamps http://www.aapsa.com.au/norma.html

You will note that the HD and Torro clips are called "worm Drive Hose
Clips".

Yes, probably boring and not very specific "hose clamp" which could cover
all the variants of loops of wire and twisted wire etc.

Not just "foreign sounding" but positively imperial sounding, Boston tea
part and all that from this

l
" Americans know it as a hose clamp, a metal band that can be tightened
around the junction of a metal pipe and rubber tube for no-leak connections.
In England, where the device was invented, it's called a Jubilee clip, named
in honor of Queen Victoria's 50th anniversary party.


1921. Lumley Robinson invented the hose clamp when, while commanding a Royal
Navy destroyer in WWI, enemy fire destroyed some hoses. The name "Jubilee"
was deemed foreign sounding by Stateside manufacturers who began producing
them during WWII. "

Worm drive hose clip would probably be understood anywhere in the English
speaking world.

Do UK mechanical engineering terms such as clevit pins or Woodruff keys or
Jacob's chucks mean anything stateside?

I think you mean clevis pins. Dunno about Woodruff keys, although I think
I've heard that term here in the US.

As far as Jacobs chucks, here in the US those are pretty much the standard
drill chuck on the end of an electric or portable drill. I don't think I've
ever seen another kind, apart from a very few unmarked ones.

yes, sloppy fingers, Clevis pins

Woodruff keys lock gears/pulleys etc to large shafts, similar to roll pins
(same USA term ?) locate small pulleys etc to small shafts

Same name, as far as I can tell, although I might have been reading Brit
manual. At least I knew immediately what it was when mentioned.
'Jacobs chuck' as a term is not in common usage, but again, I knew what
it was. Mostly just referred to as a 'chuck' or 'drill chuck'. Clevis
pin is a common term, especially amongst us old farm boys.

Any Haynes auto repair manual has a pretty comprehensive cross-reference
of Brit vs. American mechanical terms.

I know...but they're not totally useless, as long as one maintains the
proper degree of skepticism.

Maybe this is obvious, but just FYI - a roll pin and a Woodruff key may
be similar in function (locking a shaft to something on the shaft), but
not at all in appearance or application. At least not in my corner of
the world.

LOL.. Isn't that the truth.. If you look anything up in a haynes manual it
says take it to the dealer for proper service.. I wonder why I wasted my $15
on that stupid book. It doesn't even have any good part breakdowns in it.
