Claim 1:
2. A clamp assembly for securing a strap to a rail of a support table, the clamp assembly comprising:
a body portion comprising a top portion, a bottom portion, a front portion, a rear portion, and opposing side portions, said body portion further comprising:
a cavity disposed in between said front and rear portions, said cavity including a cavity surface,
a strap channel formed in said body portion, centrally along said rear portion, extending from said top portion through to said bottom portion, and formed at a depth that extends to said cavity,
a rail channel formed in said body portion, centrally along said rear portion, extending from one of said opposing side portions to the other of said opposing side portions, and formed at a depth that extends to said cavity, wherein said strap channel and said rail channel form upper rail arms and lower rail arms that extend from said cavity to said rear portion, wherein each of said upper rail arms includes an upper arm surface adapted to rest on an upper edge of the rail and each of said lower rail arms includes a lower rail arm surface adapted to abut a lower edge of the rail, wherein each of said upper rail arms further including a rail flange defining part of said rear portion, and wherein said cavity surface is offset from said rail flanges in the direction of said front portion,
said strap channel comprising a strap flange located on each of said upper and lower rail arms, each of said strap flanges extending inwardly from each of said upper and lower rail arms, said strap channel being dimensioned to allow the strap to pass through and extend between said top and bottom portions, and the strap flanges configured to receive the strap within said strap channel;

a pivot jaw assembly comprising a handle portion, a plurality of jaw rail flange portions, and a plurality of hinge portions, each hinge portion having an opening configured to operably connect to a respective one of said opposing side portions of said body portion using a set screw disposed in each of said openings to form a pivot in each of said opposing side portions of said body portion to allow movement of said pivot jaw assembly about said pivot to rotate said pivot jaw assembly between an opened and a closed position, said pivot jaw assembly configured to rest in a closed position when said clamp assembly is disposed on the rail;
a swivel screw having an upper screw portion, a lower portion, and a transition portion disposed therebetween, wherein said lower portion is formed substantially spherical and comprises a smooth portion;
a swivel foot fixedly coupled to a clamp bar and including a swivel foot cavity portion defining a swivel foot opening and a thread receiver portion disposed around said swivel foot opening configured to operably couple to a thread portion formed on at least a portion of said lower portion, said thread portion having threads disposed in an opposite winding direction than that of said upper screw portion;
a knob having an opening adapted to receive said upper screw portion of said swivel screw, said knob adapted to operably move said swivel screw along a centrally-disposed opening in the body portion extending between said front portion and said cavity surface; and
whereby said clamp bar being adapted to secure the strap against the side rail of the support table when said clamp bar is moved to a second position of said rail channel from a first position adjacent said cavity surface.
