Abstract:
A clamp apparatus is disclosed that includes a body, first and second actuators, first, second, third and fourth gear sets, first and second movable grippers, and at least one leaf spring. The first gear set is coupled to the first actuator and the second gear set is coupled to the second actuator. The first gear set engages the second gear set. The first and second movable grippers are each operatively coupled to the body. The third gear set is coupled to the first movable gripper and the fourth gear set is coupled to the second movable gripper. The third gear set operatively engages the fourth gear set. The leaf spring engages with the third gear set and the fourth gear set to urge the first movable gripper and the second movable gripper toward a clamped position.

Claim (Index 1):
A support system, comprising:\n a backbone; at least one holding structure connected to the backbone via a first set of attaching points, the at least one holding structure further comprising a top portion, a base portion and an intermediate rod portion; at least one clamp assembly configured to clamp to the intermediate rod portion of the at least one holding structure, the at least one clamp assembly further comprising:\n a frame housing, the frame housing comprising a first and a second substantially parallel surfaces that are connected through a substantially perpendicular, back surface; \n a latch configured to be received by the back surface of the frame; \n at least one gear plate substantially disposed in the frame, the at least one gear plate further comprising a jaw shaped end and a gear shaped end; \n at least one handle configured such that displacement of the at least one handle causes displacement of the at least one gear plate to move the jaw shaped end from a first position to a second position; and \n one or more bias members configured to bias the jaw shaped end to the first position; and \n a device coupled to the frame by way of the latch and positioned on the at least one holding structure via the at least one clamp assembly.
