Abstract:
1. A clamp assembly comprising: a base, an elongated clamp arm pivotally mounted at a first end to said base, said clamp arm having two spaced apart bars which form a rectangular channel therebetween, a lever pivotally secured to said base and said clamp arm at spaced apart pivot axes so that pivotal movement of said lever moves a second end of said clamp arm about a direction of movement, an internally threaded, elongated bolt retainer attached to said clamp arm adjacent said other end, said bolt retainer having a width substantially the same as a spacing between said bars and a length greater than said spacing between said bars so that, with said bolt retainer positioned in said rectangular channel between said bars, said bolt retainer is locked against rotation relative to said bars, but slidably adjustable along the length of said bars, an elongated bolt threadably attached to said bolt retainer so that an axis of said bolt is substantially aligned with said direction of movement, and a lock nut which threadably engages a free end of said bolt and, upon tightening, locks said bolt to said clamp arm.
