Spring hose clamp

摘要

The clamp comprises an annularly bent spring band (10) that has first two end portions (11,12) with respective abutment jaws (13,14) that projects beyond the clamps periphery to facilitate opening from an operative condition. The first end portion projects through a peripheral slot in the second end portion. The abutment jaws extend tangentially relative to the spring band, and the band can exert a closing spring force component directed in the peripheral direction. The first portion in the opened condition of the spring band clamp bears against a support surface (19) at the free end of the abutment jaw of the second end portion. The support surface is inclined at an angle (A) to a radius (R) of the clamp. The support and surface can be brought out of contact by a radial relative movement of the end portion. The support is formed by a radially inner edge of the free end surface of the tongue (17).
