ABSTRACT:
A snap clamp includes a planar part which has a slit area and a resilient flap formed in the slit area. The resilient flap has a fixed end integrally connected to the planar part, a free end opposite to the fixed end, and a resilient protrusion formed on the free end to project normally outward from one side of the planar part. A clamp has two clamping plates to sandwich the planar part therebetween. The clamping plates have opposing inner faces in sliding contact with the planar part. One clamping plate has an engaging slot for engaging the resilient protrusion. As such, the resilient flap is bendable inward to retract inward the resilient protrusion upon insertion in the clamping plates, and is engageable with one of the clamping plate via interengagement of the resilient protrusion and the engaging slot. The resilient flap has a thickness which decreases from the fixed end to the free end so as to prevent the free end from protruding from the planar part in a direction opposite to the resilient protrusion upon retraction of the resilient protrusion.
