ABSTRACT:
A clamp, for example of the conventional "clothes peg" type, is provided with a wedging device 9 which may be selectively locatable between the rear ends of the two clamping members 2 so as to urge the rear ends apart, and thereby by virtue of the pivotal connection 4 between the clamping members 2 to urge the clamping jaws 3 together. In this way the wedging device 9 acts to increase the strength of the clamp in order to reduce the possibility of the items held between the jaws of the clamp from slipping out of the clamp. A locking member is also provided to prevent the wedging member from being unintentionally released.
