Abstract:
A rocking lever clamp for securing a workpiece to a support, said rocking lever clamp comprising:a vertical arcuate edge rotatably contacting the support at a vertical contact point and a horizontal contact point; a workpiece-engaging edge located in opposing configuration to said vertical arcuate edge; and said rocking lever clamp containing a hole therethrough, said hole being located between said vertical arcuate edge and said workpiece-engaging edge, said hole being sized to allow non-threadable passage of a shank of a jacking screw and to restrict passage of a head of a jacking screw, and said hole being elongated in a direction of an axis from said vertical arcuate edge to said workpiece-engaging edge; whereby inserting a jacking screw through said hole in said rocking lever clamp and tightening said jacking screw into the support causes said rocking lever clamp to drive the engaging edge into the workpiece.
