Abstract
A snap-on clamp includes an open-ended loop having complementary, interlocking clamps at each end. The clamps each include a jaw portion having teeth opposed to and engageable with the teeth on the other jaw portion. The teeth are angled to permit sliding movement toward a closed position and are lockable against movement toward an open position. Each clamp also includes an opposed tongue portion which engages the opposite surface of the jaw portion on the other clamp for resiliently resisting separation of the teeth and at least one of the tongue or jaw portions includes at least one locking tab engaging the adjacent tongue or jaw portion of the other clamp to prevent relative lateral movement of the jaw portions.
