Abstract: An ear clamp (10) comprising a clamping band (12) and tightening structure (14), wherein the clamping band (12) has an outer clamping band end (12a) and an inner clamping band end (12b), wherein the inner clamping band end (12b) includes a first hook (16) which, in the closed condition, passes through an opening (18) in the outer clamping band end (12a). In a top view of the band, the openings (18) are slit-shaped.

Abstract: The invention relates to an ear clamp (10) comprising a clamping band (12) and tightening structure (14), wherein the clamping band (12) comprises an outer clamping band end (12a) and an inner clamping band end (12b), wherein the inner clamping band end (12b) includes a first hook (16) which, in the closed condition, passes through an opening (18) in the outer clamping band end (12a). It is proposed that, in a top view of the band, the openings (18) are slit-shaped.

Abstract: The invention relates to a band clamp (10) for connecting a cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) tubing (14) and a metal or plastic insert fitting (16), the band clamp (10) including a clamping band (18) including an ear-like tightening structure (12) and a closing structure (20) for connecting overlapping portions of the clamping band (18).

Abstract: The invention relates to a band clamp (10) with a clamping band (12) having an ear-like tightening device (14), an inner band end (18) having a tongue (20) extending in a longitudinal direction of the clamping band (12) and an outer band portion (22) including a recess (24), wherein the tongue (20) is configured to be inserted into the recess (24) when the tightening device (14) is being tightened. It is proposed that the inner band end (18) includes an indicator structure (26) and the outer band portion (22) includes an opening window (28), wherein the indicator structure (26) is configured to engage with the opening window (28) and to be deformed when the tightening device (14) is being tightened.
