Abstract:
The invention relates to a toggle clamp device, in particular for use in vehicle body manufacturing in the automotive industry. The worldwide industry standard for the range of toggle clamps in the automotive industry contains the same technical data for the structural dimensions, clamping and retaining forces and cylinder diameters. Deviating from this standard while maintaining the technical data, according to the invention, smaller cylinder diameters are used which lead to a reduction in compressed air or energy consumption of between 25 to 60%.

Claim (Index 2):
A toggle clamp device, in particular for use in vehicle body manufacturing in the automotive industry, with a clamping head, a piston-cylinder unit which is arranged thereon, is to be alternately acted upon by compressed air and drives an optionally length-variable adjusting member which extends in the stroke direction (X-Y) of the piston and, at its piston-remote end, via a toggle linkage mechanism and via a force transmission arm which pivotably drives a clamping arm or the like via a rotary pin which is immovable in position in the clamping head and is led out of the clamping head laterally, wherein, while maintaining the clamping force on the clamping arm and while maintaining the attachment dimensions of the clamping head, the clamping head is in each case assigned a cylinder which is smaller in diameter with a correspondingly smaller piston and therefore a smaller force to be transmitted to the adjusting member, for example the piston rod, and the thereby in each case reduced piston force is restored to the original value of a larger piston-cylinder unit by an increase in the effective lever length (L) of the force transmission arm of the toggle linkage mechanism corresponding to the reduction of the piston force of the piston.
