Furthermore, the toggle head cylindrical body 450 has a handle bearing portion 457 below the round nut mounting portion 456. The diameter of the handle bearing portion 457 is smaller than the diameter of the round nut mounting portion 456, so that the limiting fastener 46 can pass smoothly through the handle bearing portion 457 and be tightened onto the round nut mounting portion 456.

[0047] For example Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the handle 47 has a handle mounting portion 470 with both sides being flat at one end. The handle bearing portion 457 of the toggle head cylindrical body 450 is provided with a longitudinally extending handle operating slot 4570 corresponding to the handle mounting portion 470. The handle mounting portion 470 of the handle 47 is mounted on the toggle head cylindrical body 450 within the handle operating slot 4570 via a connecting bolt (not shown, but it passes through the bolt hole 475 on the handle 47 and the bolt hole 458 on the toggle head 45). Thus, the handle 47 can drive the toggle head 45 to rotate, and its handle mounting portion 470 can pivot around the connecting bolt within the handle operating slot 4570, thereby allowing the handle 47 to pivot around the connecting bolt to move out of or into the handle limiting space 415 on the fixing plate 41.

[0048] like Figure 7 and Figure 9As shown, in the present embodiment, the floating plate 43 is adapted to be detachably fixed on the bottom surface of the lower one of the pair of workpieces being locked, and in particular, the floating plate 43 is adapted to be detachably mounted on the top plate 20 of the leg support 2 via fastening bolts (not shown) through the threaded holes 431 (see Figure 4 ) thereon.

[0049] Further as shown Figure 1 In the present embodiment, the pair of support columns 412 of the fixed plate 41 are spaced apart and provided with a pair of column center holes 4120 therethrough, the fixing bolt 42 connecting the fixed plate 41 and the floating plate 43 together is a hexagonal cup head shoulder bolt, and the floating plate 43 is correspondingly provided with a pair of bolt fixing holes 434, the fixing bolt 42 fastening in the bolt fixing holes 434 from the bottom of the fixed plate 41 through the column center holes 4120.

[0050] Further as shown Figure 1 In the present embodiment, the fixed plate 41 is provided with a second center through hole 410 corresponding to the first center through hole 430, the second center through hole 410 is arranged to pass through the head of the column body 450, and the second center through hole 410 is located between the pair of support columns 412. The arrangement of the second center through hole 410 makes the installation of the head 45 more convenient.

[0051] The technical content and technical features of the present utility model have been disclosed above, however, it can be understood that under the creative idea of the present utility model, the skilled in the art can make various changes and improvements to the above structure, including the combination of the technical features disclosed or claimed herein, and other combinations obviously including these features.
