Abstract
A hose clamp for preventing a leak during tightening of a hose includes a clamp body of a strip-shaped leaf spring material with an annular shape, and a pair of operation pieces. The clamp body maintained in a diameter expansion state by a locking claw of the operation piece engaged with an engagement concavity of the other operation piece. The engagement released by bringing the operation piece close to the other operation piece and moving the operation piece in the opposing direction in an axial direction of the clamp body, whereby reducing the clamp body diameter. An expansion restricting piece restricts divergence of both the operation pieces in opposite directions in the axial direction of the clamp body. Further, a tilt prevention section which prevents the clamp body from being obliquely assembled to a hose during tightening of the hose is provided.
