Ring clamps are usually thick metal rods that are bent into a circle at one end and have a screwing attachment on the other end in order to connect to ring stands. These are used to hold pieces of glassware above the table surface for reactions. They are used often for seperatory funnels and for holding a solution above a heat source..

A ring clamp is, basically, a metal ring that can be attached to a support rod. They're usually used for supporting round-bottom flasks or a piece of wire gauze (so that you can put a beaker on it); the hole in the middle means you can put a flame underneath to heat the flask/beaker. They're also sometimes used to support a separatory funnel (in this case, you wouldn't put a flame underneath).

I've occasionally seen them used in other ways (for example, as a support for a long thin glass tube) when someone didn't have the proper clamp for the job and was "making do" with a ring clamp as being (slightly) better than nothing.
