A wearable multi-purpose clamp includes a substantially planar base hingedly connected to a movable jaw and carries a spring clip, an L-shaped lever and a ring support. The base, movable jaw and L-shaped lever together bear a loose resemblance to a clamp for use with suspenders (e.g., for attachment to the waist band of the pants). The base includes a base jaw, a base central aperture and has first and second opposing perpendicular journal tabs, each with a coaxial journal hole therethrough. The base also preferably includes first and second elongate raised salient features which are disposed substantially parallel to the base sidewalls and to one another and are spaced apart by a selected spacing defining a groove or trough therebetween. The movable jaw also includes teeth, spring center tabs received in the base central aperture, and first and second oppositely projecting side tabs disposed between the upwardly projecting base wall and base journals to provide a spring biasing force (in cooperation with a biasing force provided by the center tabs) tending to force the movable jaw into an open position. The clamp jaws are therefore adapted grasp and hold a napkin or other flexible substrate. The L-shaped lever includes a substantially planar front cover having an aperture therethrough and carrying the ring support. The ring support has first and second chamfered ends biased closed and partially overlapping to define an open loop. The multi-purpose clamp is readily adapted to conveniently carry keys and eyeglasses, among other things.
