Abstract
A resilient clamp comprises a body forming in one single piece an upper arm and a lower arm connected to each other at one side by a springing curved end portion and provided at the other side with an anchoring element and an anchoring member, respectively, which are mutually releasably snap engageable. The upper arm has a manoeuvre portion superelevated with respect to the anchoring element. Further structural features of the body afford reducing the closing effort and minimizing any risks of unintentional opening of the clamp.
