An earless clamp structure in which the clamping band (11, 111) is provided with tool-engaging abutment surfaces (14'', 18') for tightening the clamp and a mechanical connection (20, 220) for connecting the overlapping band portions in the completely tightened condition; to avoid lifting up of the free end of the outer band portion during tightening, the latter is provided with a reinforcement (25, 125) in the form of a pressed-out embossment or the like, at least partially surrounding the tunnel-shaped member (14) in the adjoining area of the outer band end portion; a hook-like member (20, 220) for mechanically connecting the overlapping band portions which is provided in the inner band portion has a substantially rectilinear obliquely outwardly extending rear surface (22) adjoined by a substantially flat top portion (23) which is adapted to snap-in from below over the surface of the clamping band portion located at the edge formed by the transverse cut nearer the free end of the outer band portion of the tunnel-shaped member (14). <IMAGE> |
