Abstract:
1. A device for clamping opposing structures to one another, the device comprising: a first arm member having a length extending between opposite first and second end portions; a second arm member having a length extending between opposite first and second end portions; said first end portion of said second arm member being pivotably coupled with the first end portion of said first arm member so that said first and second arm members may be selectively moved in a common plane throughout variable angular relationships with respect to one another; a first jaw member operatively coupled to said first arm member so that said first jaw member is selectively positionable along the length of said first arm member; a first means for selectively advancing and withdrawing said first jaw member along a path that is generally parallel with the length of said first arm member; a second jaw member operatively coupled to said second arm member so that said second jaw member is selectively positionable along the length of said second arm member; and a second means for selectively advancing and withdrawing said second jaw member along the length of said second arm member.
