Abstract
A self-locking clamp member comprises a bendable member for bending along a bending line which divides the bendable member into first and second arm portions separated from one another by the bending line. The first arm portion includes a bendable tab extending away from the surface of the first arm portion and the second arm portion includes an opening for receiving the bendable tab and closing means associated with the opening for engaging the bendable tab to bend the tab when the tab enters the opening as the bendable member is bent along the bending to move the first and second arm portions towards one another.
