A self-tightening clamp formed from spring steel band material which exert clamping forces by the inherent springiness of the band material. To minimize outwardly projecting parts with their injury danger and to obtain an inner clamping surface substantially devoid of any gaps or steps, the end of the outer band end portion is provided with an elongated slot adapted to receive the tongue-like overlapped inner band end portion. Temporary locking of the clamp is realized by a detent member in the tongue-like inner band end portion adapted to be lockingly engaged by a locking surface in the outer band portion. The elongated slot is thereby of such width as to accommodate the tongue-like inner band portion whereby the detent member is located in the elongated slot when the clamp is in its clamping position. -43-
La présente invention vise une bride autoserrante faite d'une bande d'acier à ressort et dont la force de serrage est justement conférée par les propriétés élastiques de ladite bande. Pour minimiser les risques d'accidents que pourrait engendrer le relâchement intempestif de la bande et pour que la paroi interne de cette dernière soit parfaitement uniforme, le bord de la portion d'extrémité externe de la bande comporte une rainure allongée, de largeur appropriée, destinée à recevoir la languette de la portion d'extrémité interne qui vient chevaucher la portion d'extrémité externe. Pour verrouiller la bride, il suffit d'insérer le cran d'arrêt de la languette dans la surface de verrouillage de la portion d'extrémité externe.
