Abstract
A diameter variable hose clamp includes a clamping band having end portions which mutually overlap in the closed condition of the hose clamp. The inner end portion carries a tongue which has a width smaller than the full width of the clamping band, and hooks for closing of the hose clamp. The outer end portion is provided with openings for receiving the hooks, an ear-like tightening device for tightening the hose clamp around an object to be clamped, and an arcuate band portion for receiving the tongue. The arcuate band portion is cut free from the clamping band by longitudinal cuts in forming lateral band webs.
