Abstract
A fill end catching/clamping system in a fill drive clamp body provided at one end with a hook. A wedge is designed to axially move inside the hook. A wall of the wedge cooperates with a wall of said hook to form a 'V'-shaped hollow in which the fill end is clamped. At least one elastic blade, positioned below the wedge, has a side wall that cooperates with the wall of the hook which forms one side of the 'V'-shaped hollow to assist in retaining the fill end or ends in the 'V'-shaped hollow.
