ABSTRACT:
A clamping system for clamping a member onto a cylindrically-shaped surface. The member to be clamped has a first annular groove provided in the region which is to be clamped and a second annular groove provided in the bottom of the first annular groove. A clamping band has a body portion received in the first annular groove, a tongue received in the second annular groove, hooks for connecting the opposite ends of the body portion to each other to lock the clamping band in the first and second annular grooves, and a plastically deformable ear to tighten the clamping band about the member. In a preferred embodiment, the tongue is offset from the body portion of the clamping band.
