  • Clamp and back scratcher assembly and method
    Publication number: 20110166481
    Abstract: A clamp mechanism for attachment to door frames or other support structures is provided. The clamp mechanism includes a face plate and a pair of side plates. The side plates have a series of holes for receiving a cam assembly, which is used to attach the clamp mechanism to a door frame through frictional engagement to the backside of the molding on the door frame. The face plate is adapted to receive removable inserts, which may include back scratching or massaging devices, as well as inserts for other types of uses. The clamping mechanism may be manufactured by injection molding, and the components may be assembled and disassembled without the use of tools.
