  • Patent number: 10035468
    Abstract: A clamping rack for securing an item to an object includes an elongated base member having two ends that each have a rear support surface projecting upwardly therefrom. At least one bottom support projects upwardly from the base member and has a bottom support surface oriented orthogonal to the rear support surfaces. Two pivot members each have an item engagement end with an upwardly projecting front support surface, and a tensioner engagement end, a tensioner fixed between each tensioner engagement ends to urge the tensioner engagement ends mutually closer. A handle member is fixed between the engagement ends and is pulled forward to pivot the front support surfaces away from the rear support surface to make room for the item to be placed therebetween. The item is clamped between the rear and front support surfaces when the handle member is released due to the resiliency of the tensioner.
