ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a clamp comprising a first C-shaped jaw having first and second limbs and an interconnecting bight portion. A second jaw is mounted pivotably to the second limb, and a releasable ratchet-and-pawl arrangement is provided for locking the second jaw relative to the first jaw in a number of degrees of closure. A finger-actuable tab is provided on the pawl for releasing the pawl from the ratchet and allowing bidirectional pivoting of the second jaw. The first limb is provided with a circular aperture and the second jaw is arranged to urge material to be clamped between the first and second jaws through the cavity, so as to increase the effectiveness of clamping. The material which has passed through the cavity also serves as a cushion. The clamp is particularly suited for use as a diaper clamp.
