Abstract

A clamping collar having a hook (22) suitable for being clipped onto a lug (12) in the clamped state. The collar has a tongue (14) secured to the end that carries the hook (22). The lug (12) has a free edge (12A) which, when the collar is in the unclamped state, faces towards the hook (22), and the tongue carries at least one retaining member (26A, 26B) which, when the collar is in the unclamped state, lies in a cavity (28) provided under the lug (12) and co-operates with the free edge thereof. The tongue also has a guide embossed region (40) in alignment with the free edge of the lug to guide said lug during hooking and/or to form an abutment for the hook.
