Claim:
1. A clamp, comprising: a first monolithic member; a second monolithic member coupled to the first monolithic member and configured to be selectively moved relative to the first monolithic member; and a third monolithic member configured to be selectively coupled to at least one of the first monolithic member and the second monolithic member; wherein the first monolithic member and the second monolithic member are configured so that the second monolithic member cannot be decoupled from the first monolithic member without destruction of one of the first monolithic member and the second monolithic member; wherein the first monolithic member defines a bore and a first clamping surface, configured to engage an article; wherein the second monolithic member defines a threaded hole; wherein the third monolithic member includes: wherein the clamp is configured to be selectively configured between an unclamped configuration and a clamped configuration, in which the clamp is secured to the article, wherein in the clamped configuration, the first clamping surface and the second clamping surface engage opposite sides of the article, and the threaded shaft extends through the article, through the bore of the first monolithic member, and into the threaded hole of the second monolithic member, and wherein when a user rotates the second monolithic member, the first clamping surface and the second clamping surface translate toward each other.
