Claim 3:
4. The clamp of claim 1, wherein:
the arresting member is rotatably attached to at least one of the first jaw or the second jaw,
the arresting member comprises an engagement tab,
when the arresting member is in the first position, the first jaw and the second jaw are in the arrested position and the engagement tab engages at least one of the first jaw or the second jaw to provide the physical interference to restrain rotation of the second jaw relative to the first jaw and to restrain rotation of the first jaw relative to the second jaw, and
the arresting member moves from the first position to the second position by rotating about a mounting axis, thereby removing the physical interference and enabling the first jaw and the second jaw to move from the arrested position to the closed position to mount the clamp to a line.
