ABSTRACT:
A hose clamp includes a clamping main body and a fixing member. The clamping main body is formed as a circled-strip having opposite free ends so as to be capable of exhibiting an urging force for reducing its diameter, and clamps a hose member having a concavity at an end thereof. The fixing member is engaged with the opposite free ends of the clamping main body so as to inhibit the diameter of the clamping main body from reducing, and includes a projection extending at least in one of axial directions of the hose member, and being capable of engaging with the concavity of the hose member so as to position the clamping main body in a direction around the axis of the hose member. Thus, in a direction around the axis of the hose member, the clamping main body is positioned by the projection of the fixing member which is disposed independently of the clamping main body. Accordingly, even when the diameter of the hose member is varied, the width, thickness, etc. of the clamping main body can be kept at a predetermined dimension. Therefore, the clamping main body can be manufactured out of a common strip-shaped material.
