A hold down clamp?

What is it doing?

Sometimes they are called holdfast or hold fast clamps.

We call it a De-Sta-Co clamp, for the company that makes them.

Note that "toggle" in these names implies that the action holds after the actuator is pushed past a threshold.  Similar to a toggle switch.  The English word has other meanings for other applications.
