Abstract:
1. A welding fixture clamp comprising: a stationary clamp jaw that includes a first partially cylindrical guide surface; a pivotal clamp jaw that includes a second partially cylindrical guide surface that conforms to and covers at least a part of the first partially cylindrical guide surface; at least one side shield secured to one of the pivotal clamp jaw and the stationary clamp jaw and extending over the other one of the pivotal clamp jaw and the stationary clamp jaw to shield the first partially cylindrical guide surface and the second partially cylindrical guide surface; a first pivot pin pivotally connects the side shield to the stationary clamp jaw about a pivot axis; and a second pin connecting the side shield to the pivotal clamp jaw, wherein the pivotal clamp jaw is connected to the stationary clamp jaw to pivot about the pivot axis, and wherein the side shield partially covers a side of the stationary clamp jaw and the pivotal clamp jaw to shield the second partially cylindrical guide surface and the first partially cylindrical guide surface as the pivotal clamp jaw pivots about the pivot axis.
