A clamp of a bicycle workstand includes a base, an elastic unit, an operating arm, a link unit, and a clamping unit. The base has an accommodating trough. The elastic unit has a shaft sleeved with a spring and a slide and disposed in the accommodating trough. The clamping unit has a fixed clamp body disposed on the base, and a movable clamp body pivotably connected with the base and the operating arm. The link unit has a first link and a second link pivotably connected with each other and pivotably connected with the operating arm and the slide respectively. The second link has a cam. Pulling the operating arm can drive the first and second links to swing. The cam is abutted on the shaft and presses it by rolling. The fixed clamp body and the movable clamp body can be coupled for stable clamping.

A clamp assembly for securing a workpiece to a cutting machine having a plurality of slats is set forth. The slats have a depth and a space between the plurality of slats have a width. A base has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. An elongated extension has a first end coupled to the base and a second end having a flange wider than the width. A clamping mechanism is coupled to the base. The clamping mechanism has a compliant stopper movable from a clamping position and an open position.

A positioning structure of a clamper of a threading machine for a racket contains: a rack, an engagement protrusion, an operation member, and two springs. A fixing holder is erected on a support plate of the threading machine, and the rack includes multiple first teeth, the fixing holder includes an accommodation chamber with an opening. The engagement protrusion is received in the accommodation chamber and includes a toothed extension on which multiple second teeth are formed. The engagement protrusion further includes a recess and an abutting fence. The operation member includes a drive portion and a push portion. The two springs are mounted on a top of the engagement protrusion, and two ends of each spring abut against the engagement protrusion and the fixing holder respectively so that each spring forces the engagement protrusion to engage with the rack.

Provided is a workpiece holding tool changing system configured to change at least one of a relative position and a posture of a holding tool of a workpiece conveying apparatus with respect to a feed bar. The feed bar includes at least one set among: an X-axis direction linear mechanism with an X-axis linear brake; a Y-axis direction linear mechanism with a Y-axis linear brake; a Z-axis direction linear mechanism with a Z-axis linear brake; and a ball joint portion and a ball brake. Under a state in which inhibition of movement or change in posture by a corresponding brake is canceled, a robot changes the relative position or the posture of the holding tool to a desired relative position or a desired posture. After the change, the workpiece holding tool changing system is brought into a holding state in which the movement or the change in posture is inhibited.

An adjustable clamping assembly for securing an object (such as, for example, a board or other workpiece) to a work surface (such as, for example, a work bench or work table). A rigid rod member has a bent base section, as well as a clamping shoulder surface disposed at its distal end. A clamping head is slidably disposed along a portion of the length of the rigid rod member, and can be selectively secured in a place.

A fixture for clamping a structural beam during machining is equipped with at least one beam clamp assembly having an elongated clamp arm capable of pivoting as well as linear motion during a clamping operation. The elongated clamp arm is pivotably mounted to a pivot block rotated by an actuator device. The pivot axis of the clamp arm is aligned with but spaced from the axis of rotation of the pivot block.

The present invention relates to a device (14) and a method for installing a filter bag having an open end on a sector (5) of a disc filter (1). The device (14) comprises a substantially horizontal elongated body (15) having a first end and a second end and at least three clamping devices (16) attached to the body (15). Each clamping device (16) comprises a substantially vertical supporting leg (17). The device (14) comprises a suspension arrangement for the filter bag at both ends of the body (15).

A clamping assembly includes a body defining a retaining area and at least one coupling element. The body further includes a first leg having an adjustable engagement member and a second leg positioned at an angle less than 90° relative to a horizontal axis. The clamping assembly further includes a rod having a first end coupled to the at least one coupling element of the body. The rod is operative to drive the body in a direction toward the first leg in response to a force directed toward a second end of the rod.

A tooling base that is an improvement over current designs in the form of simplified number of parts, easier manufacturing of parts and that can be actuated for clamping and releasing a tooling fixture by pneumatic, other computer controlled means as well as manually is described. The tooling base uses clamping fixtures that are spring loaded to press cleats into recesses on alignment studs that locate and hold any variety of tooling fixtures to the base.

An example adaptive tooling system is provided that includes an adaptive base plate assembly and a tool base assembly selectively engageable with each other. The adaptive base plate assembly includes a base plate with holes formed therein, and location pins attached to the base plate via the holes. The tool base assembly includes a central support member, first and second lock plates, and a latch pivotably disposed relative to the central support member. The first and second lock plates include an opening formed therein. The opening of the lock plates is configured to at least partially receive first and second location pins of the location pins of the adaptive base plate assembly. The latch is configured to releasably engage with a third location pin of the location pins of the adaptive base plate assembly to releasably engage the tool base assembly with the adaptive base plate assembly.
