• said movable clamping jaw being coupled to said central base member and extending in a direction generally opposite to said free end of said top leg, such that, in the normal position thereof, it clampingly engages said fixed clamping jaw;
• said free end of said top leg being resiliently movable in a pivot-like manner toward said bottom leg whereby said movable second clamping jaw is thereby resiliently moved in a pivot-like manner away from said fixed clamping jaw into said open position;
• wherein said fixed first clamping jaw includes a cutout, said bottom leg of said generally U-shaped resilient support includes a tab, and wherein said tab is receivable in said cutout in a snap-fit manner to retain said generally U-shaped resilient support to said fixed first clamping jaw;
