1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a clasping device, and more particularly to a clasping device
2. Description of the Prior Art
A typical clasping device is shown in FIG.
10
and comprises a circular body
90
having one end leg
91
extended through an opening
92
of another end leg
93
for resiliently clasping one or more longitudinal objects
94
. The clasping device may be used for clasping the longitudinal objects of a predetermined or particular size only.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages of the conventional clasping devices for longitudinal objects.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a clasping device having one or more inwardly extended resilient blades for suitably clasping one or more longitudinal objects.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a clasping device for clasping an object, the clasping device comprising a clasping member including a curved body having a chamber for receiving the object, the curved body including two ends and including at least one blade extended inward of the chamber of the curved body for engaging with and for clasping the object in the curved body, and means for forcing the ends of the curved body toward each other and to clasp the object in the curved body.
The blade includes a cusp and/or a tip extended inward of the chamber of the curved body for engaging with and for clasping the object in the curved body. A pair of hand grips are extended outward from the ends of the curved body respectively for forcing the ends of the curved body toward each other and to clasp the object in the curved body. A bracket has at least one socket orifice formed therein for receiving the ends of the curved body.
The ends of the curved body each includes a latch engaged with the bracket for securing the curved body to the bracket. The bracket includes an opening formed therein for receiving a supporting member. A securing device is further provided for securing the bracket onto the supporting member.
