fjäderklämma

Fjäderklämma is a Swedish term that translates to "spring clip" or "spring clamp" in English. It refers to a type of fastening device that utilizes the spring tension of a bent piece of metal or plastic to hold objects together. These clips are commonly found in a variety of applications, from everyday household items to more industrial settings.

The design of a fjäderklämma typically involves two prongs or jaws that are forced apart by an internal spring mechanism. When pressure is applied to the handles or ends of the clip, the jaws open, allowing it to be placed onto an object. Releasing the pressure allows the spring tension to close the jaws, securing the object in place. The strength of the grip can vary depending on the size and material of the clip.

Fjäderklämmor are valued for their simplicity, ease of use, and reusability. They are often used for temporary fastening and are a convenient alternative to screws, nails, or adhesives when a permanent bond is not required. Examples of their use include holding papers together, securing cables, attaching small components during assembly, or even in clothing and accessories as decorative or functional elements. Their versatility and low cost make them a ubiquitous item in many toolkits and manufacturing processes.
