摘要 |
The invention relates to a hose clamp with a U-shaped lower housing, wherein an end section of a tightening strap is secured to the bottom of the lower housing, and with an upper housing which is pivotally supported in the lower housing for engaging or disengaging a worm drive with the other end region of the tightening strap, wherein the worm drive is supported in the upper housing such as to permit rotation, but no substantial axial movement, and wherein the upper housing comprises mounting tabs formed as one piece which engage or are capable of engaging, respectively, from the inside of the lower housing with recesses in side walls forming the legs of the U-shaped lower housing. It is provided that the upper housing (5)-when viewed in transverse cross section of the worm drive-partially encloses (partial enclosure contour 46) the worm drive (7), and that the mounting tabs (55, 56) originate from front edges (47) of the formed partial enclosure contour (46), with the front edges (47) forming lateral edges (48) of the upper housing (5) and extending at least approximately in the longitudinal direction of the worm drive.
