Abstract: A clip, more particularly a hose clip, including a band furnished with ratchet coupling elements comprising serrated jaws on one end of the band and a serrated tongue on the other end of the band. The tongue is insertible longitudinally between the jaws to interlock serrations on opposite sides of the tongue with the serrations of the respective jaws and thereby lock the tongue against withdrawal longitudinally. The jaws are open laterally, permitting sideways disengagement of the tongue therefrom to release the clip. The clip may be a one-piece plastics moulding.
