<p>A wearable napkin holding clamp (10) includes a substantially planar base (12) hingedly connected to a movable jaw (14) and carries an L-shaped lever (16) and a spring clip (18). The base (12) includes a base jaw (22), a base central aperture (27) and has first and second opposing perpendicular journal tabs (28), each with a coaxial journal hole (30) therethrough. The base also preferably includes first and second elongate raised salient features (32, 34) which are disposed substantially parallel to the base (12) sidewalls. The movable jaw (14) also includes teeth, spring center tabs (40) received in the base central aperture (27). The L-shaped lever (16) includes a substantially planar front cover (50) attached at one end to a substantially perpendicular camming lever arm (52) having, in opposite sides, first and second axial tabs (54) sized to be received in the coaxially aligned opposing base journal tab holes (30). The spring clip (18) also includes first and second yoke members (62, 64) exerting a spring force, biasing the clip arm (60) into close proximity with the back surface of the base (12); the clip arm is thereby disposed intermediate the first and second base elongate salient features (32, 34).</p> |
