1. A frictional securing assembly for holding a sheet of material on one or more of its edges comprising:
a. A base piece of predetermined length with a bottom, middle area, and top where the bottom contains a clamp notch, the middle area is comprised of a back wall that connects the top and bottom and an open space or material cavity, and the top has a clamp joint;
b. A clamp arm of predetermined length with a left leg, top side, and right leg where the left leg begins at a bottom of the left leg with a clamp ball, and the right leg has a notch post at a bottom of the right leg which is perpendicular to the right leg protruding out in a direction pointing away from the left leg; and
whereby when said base piece is secured to a frame or surface and said clamp arm is attached to said base piece by inserting said clamp ball into said clamp joint, then by applying a radial force to said clamp arm in a direction opposite said base piece to an up and open position allowing insertion of a material sheet into said material cavity, then by applying a radial force to said clamp arm in a direction of said base piece, said clamp arm engages with said material sheet, dragging it further in to said material cavity, then engaging said notch post into said clamp notch on said base piece frictionally securing said material sheet between said base piece and said clamp arm.
