Patent ID: 7914729

Claim:
A tooling fixture, comprising: a plate having a planar upper surface with a plurality of slots formed in the upper surface, wherein a first plurality of slots extend a first direction, and a second plurality of slots extend in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction; a plurality of support members, each having a body portion with protrusions extending outwardly from opposite sides of the body portion, each protrusion defining oppositely-facing first and second support surfaces, the support members including a key that is closely received in selected ones of the slots with the second support surfaces contacting the upper surface of the plate, wherein the key substantially prevents movement of the support members transverse to a slot that the key is received in; a plurality of clamp members adapted to engage the support members; threaded members operably interconnecting the clamp member and the support member, whereby the clamp members can clamp a work piece between the clamp member and the first support surfaces.
