<p>A hose clip including an annularly formed band (2), the ends of which are connected to a tensioning means with the aid of which the girth of the clip can be conventionally regulated. In accordance with the invention the hose clip is formed with at least two ridge-like inwardly directed beads (10) or the like, which extend substantially annularly along the inside of the band (2). In a particularly preferable embodiment the beads (10) are radially spring-biassed, whereby, on tightening the hose clip around an elastic hose (15), the hose clip axially compresses the hose (15) between the beads (10) and simultaneously compresses the hose (15) radially. In accordance with the invention the hose material (15) is kept within the hose clip in the axial direction, without the hose material (15) being subjected to the heavy compression usual in known embodiments. The hose material (15) can thereby retain its elasticity better and form a longer time, and thus ensure a tight connection.</p> |
