A strip clamping device having a strip to be clamped (1), a clamping mechanism (3) provided with a winding body (2) for the strip to be clamped (1), a toothed locking wheel (4) which is associated with the winding body (2) and has a locking toothed wheel work (5) in which a pawl (8) and a driving ratchet (7) associated with a driving lever (6) engage in order to rotate the winding body (2) in a defined direction by repeated pivoting of the driving lever (6). The winding body (2) has a spring accumulator (9) acting in the winding direction, and is a storage spool receiving essentially the entire length of the strip (1), one end of the strip being connected to the winding body (2) in a fixed manner.
