A holding device comprises a top, an actuable body, and a base. The top has a depending portion which defines a holding aperture. The top is connected to the base at the depending portion, and the actuable body is disposed about the depending portion. Adjustable holding elements are disposed within the holding aperture. The adjustable holding elements are shiftable between an extended and a retracted position in response to actuation of the actuable body.

A fabric holding device is provided for use primarily to hold down a spread out fabric web, such as a beach blanket, towel, or sheet. The device is devised to be easily inserted into sandy soil to prevent the spread out blanket from being flipped over, crumpled or otherwise disturbed or blown away by prevailing wind or by movement of an occupant on the spread out blanket. The holding device is devised to be easily inserted and retained in the sand with one such device preferably being disposed a...

A holding device on a turning machine for a workpiece, which is held by a chuck serving as a clamping device and being arranged at a receiving disk, is equipped with separate correcting elements disposed at the clamping device. The correcting elements may be controlled individually by electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic means. The correcting elements act on the clamping device in order to adjust the workpiece. It is thereby possible to adjust the clamping device itself in a defined manner, so tha...

A device for holding food articles that are impaled on sticks. The device includes a body member having first and second transverse grooves thereacross. The second transverse groove is positioned within the first transverse groove. A spring clip is positioned over the transverse grooves to selectively clamp one of the sticks between the body member and the spring clip. The first transverse groove is shaped to receive sticks having a substantially rectangular cross section. The second transverse ...

This invention pertains to an improvement in holding clips or more specifically, to the type commonly referred to as "paper clips" and used to hold papers, documents, etc., together temporarily in an organized and nondestructive manner. The object of the device is to provide a wireform holding clip of low profile with substantially greater holding capacity and broad adjustment range so as to minimize "stack buildup" due to over extension, to accommodate substantial stack thickness, and to minimi...
