ABSTRACT:
A reusable openable/closeable clamp comprising an arcuate-like strap having two generally opposing, spaced ends, each of which has been bent outwardly of the general periphery of the clamp to form first and second ears with one of the ears having an aperture therein and the other of the ears having a projection thereon extending outwardly from its respective ear, with the projection being adapted to be received in the aperture in the closed condition of the clamp to hold the strap in closed clamping condition, said strap further having at least two raised segments forming a restraining means between said segments. Removal of the projection from the aperture enables the clamp to spring to open position due to the natural resiliency of the strap portion.
