Embodiment Construction

[0020] [20] Figures 1-32 illustrate the quick positioning C-clamp 10 of the present invention. Opening and closing of the quick-positioning C-clamp 10 is a sliding and final screw movement, rather than the basic all-screw method taught by the prior art. The quick positioning "C-shape" clamp 10 is a time saving and labor saving tool. It takes about 1 to 2 minutes to open a traditional 6" "C-shaped" clamp. It takes approximately 2 seconds to open and close the quick position "C-shape" clamp 10 . The arrangement of the present invention also offers advantages over earlier attempts at prior art approaches to C-clamps.

[0021] [21] As shown in Figure 1, the U-shaped or "C-shaped" clamp frame shown as the body 12 is made of cast steel to hold the applied handle 21 through the screw 20 (also called the rod 20) The pressure applied to the support pad 13. The sliding action consists of a square bar lock assembly unit 14 comprising a screw 20 threaded through an internal thread 26 ...

Abstract

A tension rod positioning apparatus and method including a shaped threaded rod (20) inserted into a shaped threaded hole (22, 56) on an engagement collar (16). When the shaped rod (20) and shaped hole (22, 56) are aligned, the rod (20) may be freely positioned within the collar (16). When the shaped rod (20) is inserted into the collar (16) and turned, the rod (20) engages and turns the engagement collar (16). The engagement collar (16) includes an external thread (29) sized to fit an internal thread (23) on a clamp base (52). The rod (20) may be inserted and then turned to both engage the engagement collar (16) and increase the clamping pressure. The shaped rod (20) may be turned in the opposite direction to loosen the clamping pressure and disengage the engagement collar (16). Once the rod (20) and collar (16) have been disengaged by aligning the shaped rod (20) and shaped hole (22, 56), the rod (20) may be freely moved within the engagement collar (16) to reposition the clamp (10) for the next operation.
