ABSTRACT:
A clamp for grasping elongated articles of generally round cross section, comprising an abutment body having a substantially planar clamping surface and having front and rear portions with respect to the direction of insertion of an article into the clamp, at least one J-shaped clamping jaw pivotally mounted to the rear portion of the abutment body by a resilient pivot integral with the jaw and the abutment body, with the jaw having a curved clamping surface formed substantially as an arc of a circle, wherein the rotational axis of the pivot is parallel to the axis of an article caught between the clamping surfaces, the clamping jaw being biased into clamping relationship by the resilient pivot, and wherein the rotational axis does not lie inside the projection of the planar clamping surface, with respect to the curved clamping surface. In a preferred embodiment, the rotational axis of the pivot does not lie inside the line determined by the distal end of the arc of the circle determined by the arc and the center of the circle, with respect to the curved clamping surface.
