Abstract
A clamp () includes a first barrel half () and second barrel half (). A hinge pin () pivotally couples a first edge () of the first barrel half () with a third edge () of the second barrel half (). A spring () imposes force on the barrel halves () to bias a second edge () of the first barrel half () away from a fourth edge () of the first barrel half () to create a gap () between edges (), placing the clamp () in an open position (). A handle () includes a base () that abuts an outer surface () of the barrel halves () to compel the second edge () of the first barrel half () toward the fourth edge () of the first barrel half () to close the gap (), placing the clamp () in a closed position ().
