Vice jaw deflecting structure
A vice jaw deflecting structure, comprising a vice main body, a lead screw positioning seat, a lead screw, a first flexible jaw set and a second flexible jaw set; the guide slot of the vice main body has a bottom surface, a first side wall surface, and a second side wall surface; the first flexible jaw set and the second flexible jaw set have a slide, a jaw and a limiting component; the slide is configured with a limiting block protruding toward the jaw, the limiting block protrudes toward the lead screw positioning seat and is formed with a -shaped stop block having a curved top view; the jaw bottom surface has a first convex wall surface and a second convex wall surface matching and contacting the first side wall surface and the second side wall surface.
VISE
The present invention relates to a novel vise that operates in both a threaded and unthreaded mode. The vise includes a fixed block, a movable head, a rod, a ratchet mechanism, a threaded mechanism and a toggle mechanism. In the threaded mode, the movable head may only be moved by rotating the rod. In the unthreaded mode, the movable head may only be moved by applying force to the movable head in the desired direction of movement.

Apparatus and method for converting a single-station vise to a double-station vise
An apparatus for converting a single-station vise to a double-station vise includes a pair of end converter jaws, a central converter jaw, and two pairs of shafts configured to extend along opposite sides of the single-station vise. Each of the shafts in the first pair is mounted for sliding movement relative to the first end converter jaw and fixed with respect to the second end converter jaw; each of the shafts in the second pair is fixed relative to the first end converter jaw and mounted for sliding movement relative to the second converter jaw; and all of the shafts are mounted for sliding movement relative to the central converter jaw.

Modular vise
A vise having a modular construction that allows for ease of manufacture, assembly, and changeover or replacement of wear items, such as gripping surfaces of jaws of the vise. The modular construction also provides for reduced weight of the vise compared to conventional cast type vises. The vise also incorporates quick adjustment features allowing for the vise to be easily rotated, a position and size of an opening of the jaws to be rapidly adjusted, and a clamping force applied with ease.

Fixture
A fixture is mounted on a work platform and contains: a first movable block, a second movable block, an actuation block, multiple resilient elements, multiple first connection blots, and a threaded bolt. The first movable block includes a first body having a first tilted face, a first defining portion, and a first clamping face. The second movable block includes a second body having a second tilted face, a second defining portion, and a second clamping face. The actuation block includes a third body having a third tilted face, a fourth tilted face, at least one first abutting portion, at least second abutting portion, and a coupling orifice. The third tilted face corresponds to the first tilted face and has a third defining portion, and the third tilted face has a fifth slide section, a sixth slide section, and a third stop section.

Automated smart vise system
An automated vise is disclosed. A gross moveable jaw drive has a stroke longer than the stroke of a fine moveable jaw drive. With this construction, the gross moveable jaw drive can be utilized to actuate the one or more moveable jaws of the vise over a distance greater than the fine moveable jaw drive stroke to a position in which actuation of the fine moveable jaw drive is capable of positioning the one or more moveable jaws in a clamp position to apply pressure to hold the workpiece for machining by, e.g., a CNC machine. In this way, the automated vise can account for workpieces of differing size.
