<p>A clamp structure consists of a clamping band having open ends that are mechanically interconnected. The clamp structure includes a device for tightening the clamping band about an object to be fastened. The clamping band includes a tongue at a free end of the inner band portion. This tongue is operable to engage into a tongue-receiving slot located at least within the area of an outwardly extending step-like portion provided in the outer band portion. This arrangement assures a substantially gap-free and stepless transition in the circumferential direction from the inner band portion to the ring-like configuration of the clamp structure defined by the clamping band upon tightening of the clamp structure. The invention is characterized in that hooks are formed by circumferential tab-like members extending out of the inner band portion in a generally outward direction, two substantially parallelly extending tab-like members each being provided spaced in the transverse direction of the inner band portion to leave therebetween a relatively narrow center web portion. Apertures defined by generally rectangular cut-out portions in the outer band portion are complementary in length to the tab-like members to receive the same therein.</p> |
