Abstract
A flexible clamp for hose, cable and the like in the form of a strip with opposite ends joined to produce a band. A portion of the strip is formed into parallel sections with at least one section having a corrugated shape and with another section having a variable length, non-corrugated, and conforming to the shape of the band, with this section having a plurality of overlapping tongues providing a substantially continuous portion of the band. In use, the corrugated section provides flexibility for the clamp permitting change of clamp circumference with temperature cycling and the like.
