Claim 16:
17. An apparatus, comprising:
a base comprising a bottom that defines a bottom plane and a ramp feature;
a pusher comprising a wedge and a contact ridge disposed opposite the wedge, wherein the wedge comprises a nut contact surface over a cooperating feature;
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; and
an adjustment mechanism comprising a threaded rod that is anchored to the base and oriented at an acute push force direction angle relative to the bottom plane and perpendicular to the nut contact surface; and a nut that when advanced on the threaded rod pushes on the nut contact surface which thereby applies a push force on the pusher to move the contact ridge in the clamping direction.
