Abstract
A hose clip which can be tightened without a screw has an elongated band with a first end section which is formed with a closed slot for threading of the second end section therethrough. The end portion of the first end section has a pallet which engages one of a series of external teeth on the second end section to hold the band against expansion when the band surrounds and is tightened around an elastic hose. The end portion of the first end section extends radially outwardly and abuts against a back support which is an integral part of the first end section and is formed by looping the first end section radially outwardly adjacent to its end portion. The provision of the back support on the first end section enhances the versatility of the hose clip by enabling it to properly clamp smaller- or larger-diameter hoses without affecting the ability of the end portion of the first end section to remain in proper engagement with a selected tooth of the second end section. The teeth of the second end section form a row extending in the longitudinal direction of the band.
