Abstract: The clamping collar consists of a metal band (1) forming an open buckle, a cage (3) joined to a primary external part (2) of the band, a nut (14) joined by a pivoting axis (15), parallel to the axis of the buckle formed by the band (1), to a support (10) arranged to cooperate with the second end part (5) of the band. A clamping screw (20) engages with the nut and a stop (22) is mounted to move on the screw between the screw head (21) and the nut (14) to allow the head (21) to bear against the cage (3) to enable the band to be tightened up. It is characterised by the fact that the support (10) on which pivots the nut (14) carries a tooth (13) which projects in the direction of the nut (14), and that the metal band (1) has at its second extremity (5), a series of holes (6) arranged longitudinally, such that this end (5) of the band (1) can be threaded into the support (10) between the tooth (13) and the nut (14) and that the tooth (13) can anchor itself in a hole (6). This renders solid the support (10) with the end (5) of the band (1) so that the collar can be clamped up by the screw (20).
