Abstract:
1. A clamp system for operatively connecting a vibratory device to a plurality of caissons defining at least first and second diameters, comprising: a structural member; first and second clamps supported by the structural member, where each of the first and second clamps comprises first and second lock systems, respectively, for fixing the first and second clamps relative to the structural member; a clamp displacement system comprising operation of the first and second clamp displacement motors allows the first and second clamps to be remotely displaced relative to the structural member such that the first and second clamps are spaced along the structural member as appropriate for either of the first and second diameters; operation of the first and second locks systems fixes the first and second clamps relative to the structural member; and the mechanical link assembly comprises first and second rack members, where operation of the first and second clamp displacement motors causes the first and second drive pinions to displace the first and second rack members, respectively, and thereby displace the first and second clamps.
