US Patent 9402483 Yoga mat clip

A clip for a yoga mat which secures a towel to the mat. The clip has a frame portion along with a cam lever or actuator. A user of the device rotates the cam lever about an axis from a first position to a second position. As the cam lever is rotated toward the second position, a portion of the cam lever makes contact with a movable portion of the frame. The cam lever forces the movable portion from a top location toward a bottom location which shortens a space between two members of the clip. The towel and mat are secured when the device is in the second position.
