The present invention provides an adjustable bar clamp leveling device operable to receive a plurality of conventional woodworking bar clamps and provide space above and below a workpiece for positioning cauls and clamps to the workpiece a glue-up. A plurality of bar clamp leveling devices may be incorporated into a workbench with or without T-slots for securing a workpiece at various positions while maintaining planar alignment of the workpiece components during a glue-up.

A retrievable shaft locking mechanism for axial and rotational locking on smooth round shafts with a lever providing tensioning of the clamping ring and vectorially supporting a clamping action through a horizontal dowel pin.

Clamping or gripping device with a main body, with guide portions provided on the main body, with jaws which are movable along the guide portions in a direction of movement, which can be moved between an inner stroke position and an outer end-of-stroke position, the jaws each having a row-of-teeth portion with, in each case, a length extending in the direction of movement, and with multiple pinions, the axes of rotation of which lie in a plane lying parallel to the respective row-of-teeth portions, the pinions interacting with the respective row-of-teeth portion to drive the jaws.

Embodiments of a multi-purpose utility clamp may include a component engagement member having a clamp head and a handle. A guide arm is operatively connected to the component engagement member at a first end of the guide arm. A first post is operatively connected to a second end of the guide arm to move linearly relative to the guide arm. A second post at an end of the support post is disposed generally perpendicular to the first post and has a first end connected to the first post and a second end, distal the first end, and the second end is disposed opposite the clamping head. The second post has a generally trapezoidal cross-sectional shape along a length thereof between the first end and the second end, and the second post is configured to be inserted into a channel having a corresponding trapezoidal shape and formed in an auxiliary component to be clamped to another component.

A twin clamp, comprising two receptacles (61, 62), each of which has two movable clamping jaws (611, 612, 621, 622) and by means of each of which an elongate profile segment (71, 72) having a circular cross-section can be clamped in the contact section, each elongate profile segment having a centre axis (D71, D72) and an outside diameter, wherein two clamping jaws (611, 612, 621, 622) of different receptacles (61, 62) are coupled to one another via a respective differential gearing (41, 42) and two clamping jaws (611, 612, 621, 622) of the same receptacle (61, 62) are coupled to one another via a synchronous gearing (51, 52) and the position of the centre axes (D71, D72) of the clamped elongate profile segments (71, 72) is independent of the size of the outside diameters of the elongate profile segments (71, 72).

A clamp mount and workpiece alignment apparatus is provided. Clamp including a workpiece alignment apparatus is provided. A method of clamping is provided. The clamp mount and workpiece alignment apparatus is used to mount to a support surface of a workpiece support and for positioning at least one workpiece relative to the clamp while the workpiece is supported on the support surface is provided. The apparatus includes a base, a base mount, a workpiece alignment guide, a clamp mount and an adjustable interface between the base and workpiece alignment guide.

A pipe alignment clamp for use in pipe fitting/fabrication applications. The pipe alignment clamp has a generally circular frame with at least one hinge therealong to enable the clamp to be opened and subsequently secured around a pair of pipe segments and/or fittings to be joined. Threaded support members are positioned along the frame in spaced apart fashion, and extend outwardly from each side of the frame. The support members are used to support alignment screws that can be independently repositioned radially towards and away from the pipe segments and/or fittings to be joined, thereby enabling the alignment clamp to accommodate a wide variety of different shapes and sizes of pipe segments and fittings, and requiring a minimum length of pipe segment to operate. The adjustment screws may be manipulated by hand, or by a separate alignment screw tool, which may be included as part of a pipe alignment kit.

The present invention provides a clamping jig for tube connection with which it is possible to clamp tubes even in a small and narrow space. A clamping jig for tube connection 10 according to the present invention is a clamping jig for tube connection that clamps joint-equipped tubes 60, each tube including a protruding collar portion 63 at a position rearward of its leading end. The clamping jig for tube connection includes: a first member 20 that includes a first clamping portion 21 that is provided at a leading end thereof and to which one of the tubes is fitted, and a first gripping portion 23 formed at a base end thereof, a second member 30 that includes a second clamping portion 31 that is provided at a leading end thereof and to which the other tube is fitted, and a base end thereof being pivotally supported at the base end of the first member by a pivoting portion 27; a support rod 25 that extends from the first member through the second member; and a lever member 40 in which a leading end thereof is pivotally supported by a support portion 26 provided in the support rod, and a lever gripping portion 41 is formed at a base end thereof, the lever member 40 enabling swinging of the lever gripping portion in a direction of the base end of the second member, and the lever member 40 including a pressing portion 42 that presses the second member on the base end side relative to the support portion.

An attachment assembly for securing party decorations to support structures. The attachment assembly includes a clamp device to attach the attachment assembly to a support structure and one or more fastening mechanisms configured with the clamp device to secure party decorations. A first fastening mechanism includes a through-hole passing through the clamp device and a second fastening mechanism includes a rotatable clamp member biased against an outer surface of the clamp device. Party decorations, such as balloon tie strings, garland, streamers, ribbons, etc., are secured to the clamp device using the fastening mechanisms and the clamp device is securable to a support structure such as a railing, fence, table, etc.

A clamping apparatus includes: a support member (19) inserted in a leading-end-side portion of the housing (1) so as to be movable in its axial direction; a resistance giving mechanism (34) configured to give resistance to axial movement of the support member (19); and an engagement maintaining mechanism (26) configured to maintain engagement between a wedge surface (24) of a clamp rod (7) and a locking member (23). When the clamp rod (7) is driven toward a leading end side for unclamping action, the clamp rod (7) moves the locking member (23) toward the leading end side via the support member (19) after the locking member (23) moves radially inward.
