ABSTRACT:
A hose clamp is provided with a pair of radially outward bent terminal ends which are squeezable towards each other to expand the clamp. One of the terminal ends is provided with a projecting tongue which cooperates with the other terminal end to function as a stop member as well as an interlocking assembly. The interlocking assembly maintains the clamp in an expanded state while the stop member prevents the clamp from over expansion thereby maintaining its structural integrity.
