Abstract
A hose clamp (1) having a spring-loaded clamping body (2) encircling the end of the hose in a generally circular manner, and overlapping clamping ends (6, 7), where in the released state a defined inner diameter -clamping state- exists and the clamping body (2) can be spread to a considerably larger diameter against its inherent spring force by a spreading tool acting on the clamping ends (6, 7), which can be manipulated during operation without a special spreading tool because in the spread-open state of the clamping body (2) the clamping ends (6, 7) can be locked against each other and can be unlocked from each other for clamping a hose end.
