Clamping band for electromagnetic shielding band cable connector

A clamping band for affixing an electromagnetic shielding sleeve to an electrical cable connector,

• said band comprising a single strip of metal having a strap section and an integral buckle section, with said strap section terminating at said buckle section,
• said buckle section having a first opening for receiving said strap section for forming a circle of said strap section for positioning about a flexible shielding sleeve and a tubular connector for clamping the sleeve to the connector,
• said buckle having only a single set of opposed wings, with a second transverse slot-like opening therein of a length at least as great as the width of said strap section, and
• with said wings folded toward each other in abutting relation to form said first opening, with said abutting wings fixed to each other only at a zone in radial alignment with and superimposed relative to said second transverse slot opening to form a flexible hinge section which enables the buckle to bend to a smaller diameter with said transverse slot opening diminishing in width, and
• with said second transverse slot opening when said wings are folded and fixed together, forming a first loop of uniform width and a second loop adjoining said strap section, with said first and second loops joined together by said hinge section and spaced from each other by said second transverse slot opening to provide said flexible buckle section so that said first loop bends away from said second loop as said clamping band is tightened and maintains circumferential contact with the object being clamped.
