Abstract

A double ended clamp comprising two springs twisted together to form a double spring 3A. Either end of the clamp can be used to hold articles at the same time. Alternatively, one end may be used to hold articles and the other end may be attached to a line. The clamp may comprise two arms 1 pivoted together via the double spring 3A. The coiled double spring 3A may fit in the centre groove 4 with the arms fitting into the slots 2 of the arms of the clamp.
