Claim:
1. An adjustable clamp for flexibly resilient tubing, comprising: a generally elongate bottom clamp bar defining a generally planar lower clamping surface extending between a hinge end and a spaced apart clamp end; a generally elongate top clamp bar defining a generally planar upper clamping surface extending between a hinge end and a spaced apart clamp end; a threaded hinge post hingedly secured to the hinge end of the bottom clamp bar and threadably adjustably secured to the hinge end of the top clamp bar to allow the hinge end of the top clamp bar to be adjusted closer to the hinge end of the bottom clamp bar or more distal from the hinge end of the bottom clamp bar by rotating the top clamp bar about the threaded hinge post; a threaded clamp post hingedly secured to the clamp end of the bottom clamp bar and swingably received by the clamp end of the top clamp bar into a clamp bar slot defined in the clamp end of the top clamp bar; and, a clamping knob threadably adjustably secured to the threaded clamp post and configured to be adjusted downward against the top clamp bar when the top clamp bar is swingably receiving the threaded clamp post in the clamp bar slot to force the generally planar upper clamping surface of the clamp end of the top clamp bar toward the generally planar lower clamping surface of the clamp end of the bottom clamp bar.
