Abstract

A molded plastic article clamp designed to be supported from a rod has a pair of jaws pivotally joined at the top. One jaw has a pair of integral latch members extending toward the other jaw. The latch members are spaced apart lengthwise of the jaws and are designed to engage spaced keepers on the other jaw. The length and spacing of the latch members is such that when the latch member and keeper furthest from the top are engaged the jaws are held in article clamping position. When the other latch and keeper combination are engaged, the jaws are held in an open position sufficient to release an article but the clamp is still retained on the rod.
