(57) A clamping device, for example a clothes peg, consisting of two shanks (2,3) which
are connected to each other (5) and are mutually sprung with the spring bias acting
in opposite directions, and a locking organ (7) so arranged as to be capable of being
displaced along the shanks in order to adopt one of two positions, being a first position
in which the shanks adopt an open or divergent position, and a second position (Fig.
1) in which the shanks adopt a closed or convergent position. The locking organ (7)
is so arranged as to adopt the first position (Fig. 1) via the spring bias exerted
by the shanks (2, 3) on the locking organ (7).
