ABSTRACT:
A shaped clip includes a metal band having axial flanges, a first clamping wall and a second clamping wall. A barb is bent over on the radially outer end of the first clamping wall. A barb has a first hook section and a second hook section. A latching hook is connected to a radially outer edge of the second clamping wall. The latching hook is formed from an L-shaped planar strip and has a first limb and second limb. To move the shaped clip from an open position to a closed position, the clamping walls are pressed together the so that the latching hook is latched to the barb by sliding an inclined surface of the second limb against an inclined end surface of the second hook section radially inwardly, over and beyond the inclined end surface of the latching hook thereby latching the shaped clip into a retention position. Further pressing together of the clamping walls from the retention position causes the inclined end surface to slide up, over and beyond the inclined surface of the radially outer edge of the second clamping wall, thereby snapping the second hook section into the closed position behind the second clamping wall.
