<p>The invention relates to a hose clamp, whereby the connection of the two ends of the band 10, 18 is made by a guide hook 16 disposed on the inner band region and engaging in a guide receptacle 12 on the outer end of the band, and a retaining hook 17 also provided on the inner band region and engaging in a retaining receptacle 13 on the outer band region. The mounting receptacle 13 is formed as an embossment formed from the band material and attached to the band material on all sides, the inner surface thereof transitioning perpendicular to the band surface into a support region 25 adjacent to the outer end of the band 10. The retaining hook 17 has a dog facing away from the inner end of the band 18, a cutting edge of said dog engaging in the support region 25 of the retaining receptacle 13 when the hose clamp is tightened. Because it is configured as one piece with the band material, the retaining receptacle 13 has much greater strength than conventional penetrations or cutouts in the band.</p> |
