Abstract

An attachment clamp for securing a tube, a bundle of cables or like objects on a support is disclosed. A metal strap is wound on itself to constitute an open ring, of which one of the ends presents an extension for the passage of a fixing screw. A plurality of openings, transverse to the strap and constituted by embossed portions, are made in the end of the ring opposite the straight extension, while the other end of the ring bears an elongated tab substantially perpendicular to the straight extension. The free end of the tab is shaped as a hook directed towards the inside of the clamp and capable of being introduced in one of the openings in order to close the clamp.
