The tightening mechanism ( ) includes a saddle ( ) securely attached to the band ( ). A housing ( ) is pivotally and slidably connected to the saddle ( ). The housing ( ) defines a recess ( ) housing a locking worm ( ). The locking, worm ( ) is rotatable in the housing and defines spiral threads ( ) adapted to cooperate with slots ( ) defined in the band. The housing ( ) is pivotally and slidably connected to the saddle ( ) so that the housing is pivotable relative to the saddle and movable in an axial direction substantially parallel to the saddle to further engage and lock with the saddle in a closed position of the tightening mechanism.
