Abstract: A hose clip wherein the housing is made of an originally flat sheet metal blank and has a tubular section for the shank of a rotary screw mating with one end portion of a band whose end portions extend through the tubular section between the thread on the shank and a flat bottom wall of the tubular section. The head of the screw has a tubular portion which surrounds one end portion of the tubular section so as to hold such end portion against radial and/or axial movement relative to the screw whereby the head cannot penetrate into and cannot expand the tubular section while it rotates in a direction to tension the band around the end portion of a hose or an analogous structure. The tubular portion may be integral with the remaining portion of the head, it can be bonded to such remaining portion or it may be rotatably mounted on the shank adjacent to the remaining portion of the head.
