ABSTRACT:
A clamping device for clamping onto a support element, the device being made of a semi-rigid material having a high coefficient of elasticity and preferably in the form of a unitary piece. The device has a peripheral portion with a geometry such as a parallelogram whereby when pressure is applied from opposite sides along the shorter axis the device expands along its longer axis. A pair of fingers are formed extending lengthwise along the longer axis, to provide gripping surfaces at about the center of the device, whereby the applied pressure moves the gripping surfaces away from the support element, and release of such pressure results in their returning into a gripping condition.
