Abstract

Mounting clamps for coupling an accessory to a structure are disclosed. The mounting clamp includes a body configured to engage the accessory and to receive a portion of the structure, a jaw and an actuator. The jaw has a first member pivotally to the body by a first pivot that is selectively moveable, and a second member pivotally connected to the first member by a second pivot. When the first pivot is in a first position, the mounting clamp is in a first configuration adapted for clamping to a first portion of a first structure. When the first pivot is in a second position, the mounting clamp is in a second configuration adapted for clamping to a second portion of a second structure. The jaw, which is selectively adjustable between open and closed positions, is configured to clamp one of the first and second portions when in the closed position.
