Clamp (tool)
A clamp was a handy tool used to hold a workpiece securely in place while working.
In 2368, Captain Jean-Luc Picard asked Jay Gordon Graas if he could see the turbolift clamps, to which the boy replied that he could and that one of them had come detached. Picard then told Marissa Flores what clamps were used for in emergency systems. (TNG: "Disaster")
