Claim Text:
1. Systems and devices for moveably clamping and easily unclamping t-slot profiles comprising: two parallel t-slot profiles wherein each t-slot profile is comprised of metal forming at least one slot running the length of each parallel t-slot profile, an adjustable t-slot profile with a clamping device at one end, wherein the adjustable t-slot profile is perpendicular to the two parallel t-slot profiles, and wherein the clamping device connects one end of the adjustable t-slot profile with a first parallel t-slot profile and a second end of the adjustable t-slot profile connects with a second parallel t-slot profile, the clamping device is comprised of an assembly which is comprised of an elevator and bushing tightly sandwiched between guides, a cam rod running through the elevator and guides, wherein the cam rod has a pocket that is positioned relative to the bushing within the elevator, and wherein the assembly is sized to securely fit within the cavity in the adjustable t-slot profile; a linking rod connecting the elevator to a locking foot sized to moveably fit within the slot of the first parallel t-slot profile, wherein when unclamped the locking foot is capable of moveably sliding inside the t-slot; the cam rod is connected with a handle, wherein manipulating the handle will move the cam rod, and thereby move the pocket relative to the bushing, lifting the elevator, linking rod and locking foot, compressing and securely clamping the locking foot to an inside surface of the slot in the first parallel t-slot profile, thereby clamping the adjustable t-slot profile at a specific distance along and perpendicular to, the two parallel t-slot profiles.
