Abstract
A clamp may include two substantially planar plates opposite from and generally parallel to one another, each plate having a mounting hole formed therein for receiving a fastener, two teeth, each tooth extending from a respective one of the two plates, such that each tooth is generally perpendicular to the plates, and such that each tooth extends towards the other from its respective plate, and a tongue opposite from and mechanically interfaced between the two plates, such that the tongue has a concave curved profile between the plates, and such that when a force is applied in a first direction by a fastener engaging with the clamp through the mounting holes, compression of the plates towards one another causes deflection of the tongue in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction.
