Abstract
The clamping means, which has a clamping position and an open position for material in thread, ribbon or strip form, has an element which, in accordance with the invention, is resiliently bent double hairpin-wise in a first plane and has two arms of substantially equal length, the end of the first arm being bent double to a U shape in a second plane such that the gap between the two limbs of the U formed by this bend is smaller than the cross section of the portion of the free end of the second arm which cooperates with it, and the ends of the two arms being offset from one another parallel to the second plane such that, in the closed position, the free end of the second arm engages both limbs of the U in the area of the gap.
