Claim 9:
10. An indexable, multi-position clamp in accordance with claim 6 further comprising:
a first and a second ear extending from the rotating lug and disposed to receive the pivot plate therebetween and each defining a first set of elongated tracks having a straight section disposed orthogonally to the clamp base and a curved section;
a pair of pins engagable within the first set of elongated tracks; and
a pair of holes through the pivot plate disposed to be received between the first and second ears and engagable with the pair of pins engaged within the first set of elongated tracks;
whereby the pins are adapted to connect the pivot plate to the rotating lug in a constrained relationship such that the tool mount can be initially pulled straight away from the substrate thereby clearing the fixture and then rotated to tilt the pivot plate through a camming action between the pins and the first set of elongated tracks to allow access for loading the subsequent fixture.
