Clamp for clamping a cord on account of tension in the cord

A clamp for clamping a cord at a clamping location of the cord on account of a tension prevailing at a tension side of the clamping location in the cord, in which the clamp comprises:

• an elongate frame which is provided with an elongate recess;
• and
• an elongate clamping body which is rotatably connected by a first end to a first end of the frame and extends at least partly in the recess of the frame,
• in which a cord duct is formed in the recess between the second end of the clamping body and an opposite clamping surface of the frame,
• in which the second end of the clamping body is configured to be carried along by a cord passed through the cord duct in the direction towards the tension side of the cord;
• in which the smallest distance between the clamping body and the clamping surface decreases when the clamping body is moved towards the tension side of the cord,
• wherein the frame is substantially in the shape of a U, in which the legs of the U are situated at its first end and the bridge at its second end,
• that the clamping body is provided with a widened part at its first end, and
• that a hinge is provided between each of the ends of the legs of the frame and the widened part of the clamping body, the axis of rotation of which extends at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the frame and at right angles to the axis of the cord duct.
