<p>A self-tightening clamp 10 has a first, released position in which it exerts a clamping action and a second position in which it is adapted to be latchingly held against inherent tightening forces. The clamp 10 comprises a clamping band 11 with a tongue-like extension 20 at one end, a slot 35, and latching means in the other end area. The latching means includes the slot 35 which the tongue-like extension 20 is adapted to engage. A radially directed offset 33 is provided near the other end of the clamping band 11 in such a manner that the slot 35 is radially outwardly displaced with respect to the overlapped inner part of the clamping band 11 so that the clamp provides an uninterrupted clamping action over its entire circumference. <IMAGE></p> |
