ABSTRACT:
A holding device which clamps onto a wide variety of fixtures, such as furniture, pipes, counter tops, trees, rocks, fences, etc., and holds pole-shaped objects, such as billiards cues, gun barrels, fishing rods, measurement instruments, painting tools, etc., is disclosed. A C-clamp is formed from a plastic U-shaped member which movably couples to a plastic, pole-shaped member. The U-shaped member has a plurality of retained openings therein for selective installation of one or more retainers. A retainer press-fits into one of the retainer openings and is rotatable therein so that a wide variety of holding orientations may be achieved. The retainer includes an open, curved, resilient member which holds the pole-shaped object. The held object is installed by being pressed into the interior of the curved member at the opening thereof. Such pressing expands the curved member sufficiently so that the opening permits passage of the held object. Resilience of the curved member then urges the curved member to return to its quiescent shape. The held object is removed by being pulled out of the retainer through the opening therein.
