ABSTRACT:
A clamp for gripping a flexible member, such as flexible bars for pulling cables into cable-protective conduits, the clamp including a clamp body having a generally elongated longitudinal groove of a generally U-shaped cross-sectional configuration adapted to receive therein a portion of a flexible member, a handle, the handle and clamp body having respective opposite first and second end portions with the first end portions thereof being pivotally connected to each other to effect the relative movement of the second end portions between respective first adjacent and second remote relative positions, the handle having an elongated narrow strip in opposed aligned relationship to and sized generally to mate with the longitudinal groove when the second of the handle and clamp body end portions are pivoted from the first adjacent position to the second remote position to thereby clamp the flexible member therebetween, the elongated strip having a convex portion adjacent the handle first end portion and opposing an acute-angled surface of the longitudinal groove, a spring for biasing the handle to the second position, and an abutment surface for limiting pivotal movement of the handle to the second position.
