Abstract: The invention concerns a tool for gripping and clamping the edge (R) of a heavy hollow object such as a flower pot for example. The invention is characterized in that it comprises an elongated supporting arm (1) whereof one end part (1c) is curved downwards in the form of a hook and constitutes a first jaw of the clamp and an element (2) mounted sliding on the supporting arm (1) extending downwards, constituting a second jaw of the clamp such that in clamping position, the end of the first clamp jaw (1c) and the lower end part of the second clamp jaw (2f) are respectively in contact with the substantially opposite points (A, B), located respectively on the inner and outer surfaces of the edge (R) of the object.

Abstract: A book support for maintaining a book in a suspended position comprises a book holder and a light source with a lamp shade. The book holder is supported by the lamp shade which depends from a suspension member, the lamp shade having three arms, two of said arms extending substantially in an orthogonal direction relative to the other two arms, the lamp shade being pivotable in a vertical plane so as to move the book holder on an axis which is parallel to the main axis.
