Abstract
A clamp is disclosed, constituted by a metal band wound on itself, of which the ends are respectively provided with complementary fastening means adapted to be coupled to each other when a tool, for example pliers, is tightening the clamp. The clamp is further provided with an undulation forming a reserve of capacity and being deformable by flattening during tightening. In the zone of connection of the undulation to the band, located towards the inner end of the band, there is provided a gusset for reinforcing this zone of connection.
