Abstract: A hose clip for clamping a hose includes a clamping ring formed by annularly bending a strip of spring plate and deformed between a reduced-diameter state and a spread-diameter state. An arcuate portion is formed in either one of the ends of the clamping ring. A first knob is formed by bending the arcuate portion radially outward with respect to the clamping ring. A second knob is formed by bending the other free end of the clamping ring radially outward with respect to the clamping ring as so to pass through the arcuate portion. An engaged piece is formed on the one end of the clamping ring so as to project axially with respect to the clamping ring within a width of the spring plate. An engaging edge is formed on the other end of the clamping ring so as to move over the engaged piece and engage it when the first and second knobs are slid to come close to each other, thereby holding the clamping ring in the spread-diameter state with the knobs being substantially superposed.
