Abstract:
1. A multifunction clamp apparatus comprising two clamps, each of the two clamps comprising: an upper clamp arm and a lower clamp portion and means disposed at at first end of the upper clamp arm and proximate a first end of the lower clamp portion for connecting the upper clamp arm and lower clamp portion together, the upper clamp arm and lower clamp portion defining a void therebetween configured to receive an edge of a flat surface object, and the void facing in a first direction away from the first end and away from the means for connecting, wherein the upper clamp arm and lower clamp portion have opposing surfaces substantially parallel to each other; a straight elongate receiving channel positioned on one side of the clamp and formed by a recess in the lower clamp portion, the receiving channel configured to receive an elongate protruding edge of an object to be secured, the receiving channel having one open end facing a second direction opposite the first direction and located at the first end of the lower clamp portion and extending toward a second end of the lower clamp portion and ending prior to the second end, the receiving channel being substantially parallel to the opposing surfaces of the upper clamp arm and lower clamp portion; wherein the lower clamp portion has a protrusion proximate the second end of the lower clamp portion which protrusion is unitary with the lower clamp portion and extending into the void for securing a surface edge within clamp void; and wherein the upper clamp arm and lower clamp portion with the protrusion form a clamping portion configured to be secured about an edge of a flat surface object when disposed about an edge of a flat surface object.
