Abstract
A rod holder includes a pair of clamp members. The clamp members are rotatably hinged at their respective one ends and are lockable as engaged with each other at their respective opposite ends for clamping and retaining a rod member in the rod holder. One of the clamp members is provided at its hinged portion with a stopper for preventing rotation of one of the clamp members beyond a prescribed angle relative to the other clamp member but permitting further rotation of the one clamp member toward the other clamp member upon application of an external force larger than the rotation-preventing force.
