Abstract:
1. An auxiliary handle clamp system, comprising: an upper base having a handle attachment; a lower base coupleable with the upper base; an upper collet in operative association with the upper base; and a lower collet in operative association with the lower base, wherein the upper collet comprises a stop and the upper base comprises a first holder and a second holder each configured to interface with the upper collet stop, such that engagement between the upper collet stop and the upper base first holder or second holder prevents relative rotational movement between the upper collet and the upper base, wherein the upper collet is translationally adjustable, relative to the upper base, between a first position where the upper collet stop engages the upper base first holder and a second position where the upper collet stop engages the upper base second holder, wherein the lower collet comprises a stop and the lower base comprises a first holder and a second holder each configured to interface with the lower collet stop, such that engagement between the lower collet stop and the lower base first holder or second holder prevents relative rotational movement between the lower collet and the lower base, and wherein the lower collet is translationally adjustable, relative to the lower base, between a first position where the lower collet stop engages the lower base first holder and a second position where the lower collet stop engages the lower base second holder.
