Hose clip

A hose clip, comprising an annular strap having an inner side, an outer side and two marginal portions;

• an insert adjacent said inner side overlapping and extending along less than one-half of said inner side, said insert having a concave internal surface, flanges extending substantially radially outwardly along and beyond said marginal portions, and two end portions spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction of said strap, at least one of said end portions being movable along said inner side circumferentially of said strap;
• and means for biasing said insert away from said inner side so that a hose which is surrounded by said strap and by said insert is clampingly engaged by said internal surface and the non-overlapped portion of said inner side, said biasing means including at least one leaf spring between said insert and said strap, and said leaf spring having first and second ends, at least one of said ends having projections extending substantially axially of said strap, and said flanges having openings for said projections.
