Cool idea! Never thought of a klemmsia design as a hold-down.

A great way to apply the cam clamp principle!

Super idea

i see why they’re called bunnies :)
great design!

-- Flemming. It's only a mistake if you can't fix it.

Clever. How did you end up creating the shape of the cam?

Great detail and explanation!

Thanks for the kind words, everyone.

Robert, you’ve got it, the bunnies are a cross between a Klemmy and a holdfast. I think my clamps work a little better than Klemmys, though, as mine push down to close. The handle is out of the way of cords and elbows.

Swirt, I’ve made lesser versions of this clamp in the past. A cam with a lobe 1/8” above the tounge to 1/8” below works best. The high point of the lobe is just before full close. When they’re closed they want to stay closed.

Thanks Again!
