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 that cooperates with the other terminal end to function as an interlocking assembly. Each of the terminal ends is also provided with one of a projection or depression to secure the other terminal end thereto. The interlocking assembly maintains the clamp in an expanded state, while resisting uncoupling of the terminal ends in a lateral direction.
