Embodiment Construction

[0021] refer to figure 1 and figure 2 , there is a clamp 1 in one embodiment of the present invention. The clamp 1 has a housing 2 defining a central cavity and having an elongated body 12 on one side of the central cavity, the elongated body 12 having a first end 13 and a second end 14 .

[0022] The first jaw part 6 protrudes from the elongated body 12 of the housing 2 at said second end 14 . Preferably, the first jaw part 6 protrudes from the elongated body 12 of the housing 2 along an axis substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the elongated body 12 . The first jaw part has a first main engagement surface 6b.

[0023] The distal end of the first jaw part 6 has a first engagement part 15 protruding from the first jaw part 6 generally towards the first end 13 of the elongated body 12 of the housing 2 . The first engaging part 15 has an inwardly facing engaging surface 15 a which is approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis of the elongate body 12...

Abstract

A clamp adapted to be removably fixed to a further object, the clamp comprising: first and second clamp members each configured to apply a clamping force to a further object to which the clamp is removably fixed; and one clamp actuator adapted to drive movement of both the first and second clamp members with respect to each other along respective first and second axes, wherein the first axis intersects the second axis.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to clamps. Background technique [0002] In some cases it is desirable to clamp a first object to, or in a fixed relationship relative to, a second object. In some applications, it is desirable to prevent a first object from moving relative to a second object along first and second axes. [0003] A so called "double acting" clamp is shown in US 5,863,033. This document discloses a clamp comprising a pair of pliers resiliently biased in a closed configuration so that the pair of jaws of the pliers can grip an object interposed therebetween. And a piston is provided so that pressure can be applied to an object clamped between the jaws of said pliers. Thus, a clamping force can be applied to the object in two different directions. [0004] The clamp disclosed in US 5,863,033 cannot be used for certain applications because there is no mechanism that can securely position the jaws of the pliers or the piston when relatively...
