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).
