  • Patent number: 11940073
    Abstract: The hose clamp described herein consists of a clamping band (10) with overlapping band sections in the closed state of the hose clamp, on which hooks (12, 19) are arranged for closing the hose clamp, and with a tightening device (15) arranged in the outer band section for tightening the hose clamp around an object to be clamped. The hooks (12, 19) are stamped out from the clamping band under cold working and each have a lug (21, 25). In the closed state of the hose clamp, the lug (21) of a hook (12) arranged on the inner band section and the lug (25) of a hook (19) arranged on the outer band section engage over each other, and the force is transmitted via transverse surfaces (27, 32) of the hooks (12, 19) that are in contact with each other.

  • Patent number: 11933437
    Abstract: A hose clamp for connecting, for example, a hose to a pipe nipple, wherein the hose clamp is made of a clamping band 10 comprising band sections which overlap one another in the closed state of the hose clamp and on which hooks 12, 19 are arranged for closing the hose clamp, and a tightening device 15 arranged in the outer band section for tightening the hose clamp around an object to be clamped, wherein the tightening device comprises two outwardly protruding legs and a bar connecting the legs, wherein at least one corrugated bead 21 extending between the edges of the clamping band and parallel to them is formed on the inner band section of the clamping band, so that at least a part of the corrugated bead is located below the tightening device in the closed state of the clamping band.

  • Patent number: 11841101
    Abstract: A hose clamp having a clamping band (10) with band sections overlapping in the closed state of the hose clamp, on which hooks (12, 19) are arranged for closing the hose clamp, and with a tightening device (15) arranged in the outer band section for tightening the hose clamp around an object to be clamped. The overlapped inner end of the clamping band (10) is formed as a tongue (11) with a reduced width compared to the clamping band (10) and is received by a tongue channel (45) arranged in the outer band section. The tongue (11) is stamped out of the clamping band (10) and has outwardly projecting side flaps (42) and a bottom part (43) which is arranged between them, formed from the clamping band (10) and rises continuously from the clamping band (10) up to the height of the side flaps (42).
