Name for Jubilee clips in USA

called a Schlauchschelle in Germany it would seem

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

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

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

It's also known as a "gear clamp"

Pipe clamp.

Oops, that should have read: hose clamp.

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

Yep, All but I call it a Clevis pin tho.

Hi!

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.

Glad you've found a use for one. ;-)

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.
