Abstract
A clamp is formed from a band with overlapping end portions. The clamp includes closing means including an aperture in one of the band end portions and a projection on the other band end portion to engage the aperture in a closed condition of the clamp and hold the mutually overlapping band end portions upon one another. The clamp also includes tightening means for tightening the clamp by reducing the circumferential length from the closed condition and a tightened condition. The clamp has force transmitting means for positively transmitting tensile force between the mutually overlapping band end portions in the tightened condition of the clamp. The force transmitting means includes a first cup-shaped embossment formed in one of the band end portions and a second cup-shaped embossment formed in the other band end portion and adapted to engage the first cup-shaped embossment in the closed condition of the clamp.
