Claim 9:
10. An apparatus, comprising:
a base comprising a bottom that defines a bottom plane and a ramp feature;
a pusher comprising a cooperating feature, an extension at a bottom of the pusher that cantilevers away from the base, a contact ridge disposed at an upper corner of the extension, and a raked surface that tapers toward the base from the contact ridge downward;
wherein movement of the cooperating feature along the ramp feature moves the contact ridge downward toward the bottom plane and away from the base in a clamping direction, wherein the clamping direction forms an acute clamping direction angle with the bottom plane; and
an adjustment mechanism configured to apply a push force on the pusher to move the contact ridge in the clamping direction, wherein the push force is applied in a push force direction that forms an acute push force direction angle with the bottom plane.
