A zone (37) of reduced thickness between the toggle joint sections allows them to move relative to one another. The clamp closed sutomatically when a pressure is applied internally to the toggle joint or externally to the moving jaws, and jaws fasten when closed by interlocking hooked surfaces. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Clamping cables, pipes or sleeves in a motor vehicle. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The clamp is easy to close without pinching the fingers and holds reliably in the closed position. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a side view of the open clamp. 3 : Body 5 : Moving jaw 9 : Inner hinge 11'a, 11'b : Sections of toggle joint 17 : Fixed jaw 37 : Zone of reduced thickness.
