Patent attributes
A clamping device is configured for securely engaging one or more objects through application of pressure. The clamping device includes a primary member having opposed interior and exterior surfaces. The primary member has a generally cylindrical shape such that the interior surface defines a generally circular space about a center point of the primary member. The clamping device can receive an elongated member through the generally circular space circumscribed by the primary member. The primary member is adapted for clamping and releasing. The clamping device further incorporates one or more components for releasably engaging the elongated member, such as a lever, attached to the primary member and moveable between a closed position, where the elongated member is securely retained by the clamping device through the application of pressure, and an open position, where the clamping device is removable from the elongated member.
