Abstract
A clamp for gripping a towel draped over a towel rail so as to prevent the towel from sliding off the rail comprises a pair of arm members with jaw-forming portions at one end and handle portions at the other end, a pivot bar connecting the arm members between the ends, and a spring assembly connected between the arm members adjacent the pivot bar, the spring assembly urging the jaw-forming portions of the arm members toward one another to grip the towel therebetween. Release of the clamp to allow removal of the towel from the rail is effected by squeezing the handle portions toward one another to open the jaws against the spring action.
