ABSTRACT:
A clamp member comprises a shaped belt of spring sheet curled in a ring form with a pair of end leaves crossing each other in a circumferential direction of the ring form. One end leaf is bent in a radial direction of the ring form to provide a grip formed with a tip part configured with a top edge extending substantially in an axial direction of the ring form. The other leaf is bent in another radial direction of the ring form to provide another grip formed with a tip part configured with a top edge extending substantially in the axial direction. The top edge of this latter grip has a raised portion raised toward the other grip. A holder holds the two tip parts close together to enlarge the ring form, and comprises a top wall, and a pair of side walls each formed with a stopper to abut on a top end face of an axially extending portion of a corresponding top edge. The raised portion of the grip facilitates removing the holder with the use of a tool.
