A large clamp to clip artists paper to the board

Artists boards tend to be thick and there is a need to clamp the art paper to the board securely with a big clip.

This set of 3 prints creates a single, large clamp.

The  “ratchet” needs to be glued to the “lower clamp”. Ratchet furthest away from the clamp.

The faces of the clamp should be covered with rubber material that 1) provids a good grip on the artists paper and 2) be thick enough (at least 2mm) to provide the last degree of compression to make the clamp work effectively.

operation:

Squeeze the faces together to clamp the items.

To undo: place your thumb on the plate on the uper clamp and squeeze the trigger with your first finger. (This pulls the teeth away from the ratchet.) Pull the upper clamp up the ratchet.
