Abstract
The collar has a looped metal strap (10) and a transverse buckle (12) retained at the first end of the strap and forming, on the outer side of the first end, a passage (13) through which the second end (10B) of the strap can be inserted over the first end, the second end of the strap as inserted in this way being suitable for being indented so as to co-operate with at least one of the elements including the transverse buckle (12) and the first end (10A) of the strap, in order to be retained so that it is prevented from moving in the direction in which the diameter of the collar increases. The buckle (12) carries at least one radially projecting outer tab (20, 22), the tab having the shape of a hook having a stem carrying a head under which a recess is formed.
