In order to close and tension a hose clamp, the two end portions (11, 13) of a clamping band (10), which overlap one another, are provided on surfaces that face one another and have toothed areas (20, 22), which are held in reciprocal engagement by a holding device. The toothed area (20) of one end portion (11) is formed on the outer face of a tongue (12), the width of said tongue being less than the full width of the band. The holding device has a raised area (15) that is formed in the other end portion (13) and bears the other toothed area (22) on the inner face thereof. The raised area (15) begins spaced from the free end of the other end portion (13) with an outwardly projecting step (16) that has an opening (18) for the tongue (12) to pass through. |
