Clamp for mounting and positioning an article thereon

An attachment clamp comprising:

• a clamp including a left clamp member including an opposing left jaw extending from a left handle having a first inwardly extending left hinge having a throughbore;
• said clamp including a right clamp member opposing said left clamp member, said right clamp member including an opposing right jaw extending from a right handle having a second inwardly extending right hinge having a throughbore;
• said first inwardly extending left hinge and said second inwardly extending right hinge cooperatively engage forming a junction of said right clamp member and said left clamp member with a hinge pin extending through said throughbore connecting said left hinge and said right hinge;
• spring means in cooperative engagement with said left hinge of said left clamp member and said right hinge of said right clamp member releasably biasing said left jaw against said right jaw;
• said left clamp jaw and said right clamp jaw including at least one socket means for holding and supporting an article;
• said left jaw and said right jaw having an inwardly curving inner edge including at least one ribbed section extending outward from said left and said right hinges;
• a pair of opposing notches formed in an inward edge of said left clamp jaw and said right clamp jaw for cooperatively engaging a flange there between;
• said socket means for holding an article comprises a plurality of threaded inserts disposed within said clamp body for holding and supporting an article having means for cooperatively engaging said threaded insert;
• and
• including at least one insert in a front distal end of said left jaw and a front distal end of said right jaw, at least one insert in a rear distal end of said right handle and a rear distal end of said left handle, at least one insert in a side face of said left jaw and at least one insert in a side face of said right jaw, and at least on insert in an outer edge of said left jaw and at lease one insert in an outer edge of said right jaw.

An attachment clamp comprising:

• a clamp body having a front side, a rear side, a bottom side, a top side, a left side and a right side;
• said clamp body includes two toothed jaws, a left jaw and a right jaw and two handle grips, a left handle grip and a right handle grip;
• at a junction of said left jaw and said left handle grip is a first inward extending hinge, at a junction of said right jaw and said right handle grip is a second inward extending hinge, said hinges overlap one another, and a hinge pin rotatably connects said hinges;
• said hinge pin passes through a coil spring which is captured inside said two hinges, two outward extending spring arms of said coil spring are captured in said left handle grip and said right handle grip, said spring arms urging said left handle grip and said right handle grip outward and thus said left and right toothed jaws are urged toward each other;
• said clamp including a plurality of inserts disposed within mounting flanges for attaching an article to said clamp body in a front end of at least one jaw and in at least a rear end of at least one handle;
• said left jaw and said right jaw including two arcuate sets of inward facing teeth, an inner set and an outer set, each of said two sets facing toward each other;
• and
• disposed between said first inwardly extending hinge and said second inwardly extending hinges and said left and said right inner jaws are two notches sized to receive opposing flanges of a T-post.
