Abstract
A substantially ring-shaped clamp has a first clamp body component joined to a second clamp body component in a manner permitting the first clamp body component to pivot relative to the second clamp body component. A shaft extends from the first clamp body component such that the shaft is able to pivot relative to the first clamp body component. The shaft has a free end that is receivable within and removable from a pocket formed in the second clamp body component. A cam-lever is connected to the first clamp body component in a manner permitting the cam-lever to pivot relative to the first clamp body component. The shaft may be a threadless shaft, and the clamp may be self-locking, adjustable, and/or have a relatively smooth outer periphery.
