ABSTRACT:
An article for clamping a plurality of objects together, wherein the article includes a body portion formed in a generally c-shape. The body portion comprises a pair of side portions, an intermediate portion extending between and interconnecting the pair of side portions, and a pair of opposed free end portions extending from the pair of side portions and opposite the intermediate portion and forming a gap therebetween. The pair of opposed free end portions are resiliently biased toward a position proximate each other and spaced apart to the extent of the gap therebetween. They are expandable away from each other upon the exertion of expansion pressure, to extend about the plurality of objects to be clamped therebetween, and to return to the resiliently biased position to exert pressure on the plurality of objects therebetween upon the release of the expansion pressure.
