ABSTRACT:
A profile clamp includes a clamp band that has a first axial end, a second axial end, a first circumferential end portion and a second circumferential end portion. A first flange depends from the first axial end. A second flange depends from the second axial end. A first clamping wall projects radially outwardly from the first circumferential end portion. A second clamping wall projects radially outwardly from the second circumferential end portion. An approximately radially extending locking hook is disposed at a free end of the first clamping wall to form a slightly angled tongue. An approximately circumferentially extending web is connected to a radial outer end of the second clamping wall. The web has an opening disposed adjacent to a free end of the web. The free end of the web is angled slightly radially outwardly. The opening is defined by a plurality of edges. An abutment is formed by at least one of the edges. The abutment, together with the locking hook, forms a snap closure that is actuated by moving the first clamping wall towards the second clamping wall so that the clamp band moves from an open position to a closed position. The hook has a width that is smaller than a width of the web. The first and second clamping walls each have side flanges that merge into the flanges of the adjacent clamp band. In the closed position, a stop for the web is formed by a radially outwardly facing surface of the first clamping wall and a radially outwardly facing surface of the side flanges of the first clamping wall. The stop is disposed adjacent to the locking hook.
