ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A clamp has a first curved portion with one end connected to a second curved portion which overlaps or surrounds a segment of the first curved portion including the free end thereof. The free end of the second curved portion is connected to an extension, which has an elongated slot adjacent its end and an inclined lower surface adjacent its end. A base extends from one of the first and second curved portions in substantially the same direction as the extension and has an inclined upper surface at its end for cooperation with the inclined lower surface of the extension. The base has an opening extending therethrough to receive a screw, which passes through the slot in the extension prior to passing through the opening in the base. As the screw is advanced into a support structure engaging the lower surface of the base, the lower inclined surface of the extension moves relative to the upper inclined surface of the base to cause each of the first and second curved portions to have a smaller curvature whereby the first curved portion, which is the smaller of the two curved portions, is clamped against an article to be held. The outer surface of the first curved portion and the inner surface of the second curved portion have cooperating means to prevent lateral pull out. The inner surface of the first curved portion has article engaging elements.
