Abstract
A clamp includes a lock and a key. The lock defines a first longitudinal axis, and the key defines a second longitudinal axis. The lock has a clamping body portion, a pair of opposing snap lock arms, and an annular shaped receptacle. Each snap lock arm has a mounting end integrally joined to the clamping body portion. Each snap lock arm is flexible about its mounting end. The annular shaped receptacle is defined by the pair of opposing snap lock arms, being disposed between the pair of opposing snap lock arms adjacent to the mounting ends. The key includes a wedge body portion and a deformable elastic annular head portion. The annular head portion releasably retains the key in the lock. The annular head portion is sized to engageably cooperate with the annular shaped receptacle to provide the releasable retention.
