Title: Document clamping devices

Abstract: A document clamping device formed from a series of pivotally interconnected links. Adjacent pairs of links are movable between a first position of mutual alignment and a second position at right angles to one another about a pivot. Locking means are provided to hold the links firmly in the second position and preferably also in the first position. This locking means may be in the form of spring-loaded ball catches or resilient bosses on one link locating within recesses on the other link of a pair. Pivoting may be achieved either by means of a pivot pin or by mutually engaging configurations on the interconnected ends of two adjacent links.
