Abstract
A holding clamp for suspending an aquarium heater from the top of an aquarium frame. The clamp includes a bracket having a universal throat which can accommodate different sized frames. The clamp comprises an L-shaped bracket with a retaining member slidably associated with each of the legs of the bracket. Each retaining member defines an adjustable throat size with the opposing leg of the bracket. A locking device is situated on the clamp for securing the clamp to the frame with the retaining members positioned to accommodate the particular frame size. A holder connected to the bracket supports the aquarium heater from the frame and permits the aquarium heater to be suspended into the water.
