A clamping device includes first and second clamping components and at least one elastic component. The first clamping component includes a first clamping portion and two first pivot portions connected to the first clamping portion. The second clamping component includes a second clamping portion and two second pivot portions connected to the second clamping portion. The second pivot portions are pivotally connected to the first pivot portions respectively, such that the first and second clamping components are capable of rotating relative to each other to present a first state and a second state. The elastic component is connected to the first clamping component and the second clamping component. When the first and second clamping components are in the second state, the elastic component provides an elastic force for the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion to be restored to the first state to clamp an object.

A system for spacing rafters can include an outer member, an inner member, jaws, and a handle. The handle can be movably connected to the inner member and the outer member. The jaws can be secured to the inner member or the outer member. The handle can be operable to move the jaws with respect to each other to equally space the rafters with respect to each other.

Systems and methods for operating deep brain stimulation are disclosed. In certain embodiments, the systems and methods encompass an adapter a body portion, a shank portion; and a cam system. The cam system is comprised of a camshaft and an eyebolt that secures a latch. The body portion of the adapter is coupled to a hand knob of a microdriver and the shank portion is coupled to a drill. When the drill is activated, the adapter transmits rotational energy from the drill to the hand knob of the microdriver, which automates the raising and lowering of its needle.

A clamping handle assembly that is usable with woodworking tools that enables a user to suitably maintain and secure various types of workpiece and/or stock to a woodworking tool during a woodworking project. The clamping handle assembly comprises of a handle. The clamping handle assembly also comprises of a threaded shaft that is operably engaged with the handle, said threaded shaft is adapted to engage with a woodworking tool. The clamping handle assembly also comprises of a clamp block that is operably engaged with the threaded shaft, said clamp block is adapted to apply a clamping force to a workpiece. In addition, various types of clamp blocks may be included in a clamping handle assembly to suitably maintain and secure various types of workpiece and/or stock to a woodworking tool during a woodworking project.

The present invention relates to a device and a method associated with the device. With respect to the device, it is a work holding and clamping device, which increases the usable span to almost twice its stored length. This device has an inner and outer assembly. The inner and outer assemblies are nested or telescopic. Each assembly is made of a square or rectangular tube that has a jaw affixed to one end. The inner assembly contains a locking mechanism to allow for length adjustment. When arranged so that the jaws are on the same side of the respective assemblies, the clamp is capable of a span that is almost equal to the length of the inner assembly. When arranged so that the jaws are on opposite sides of the respective assemblies, the clamp is capable of a span that is almost equal to the sum of the length of the inner assembly and outer assembly.

According to one aspect, a pneumatic fixture clamp includes a housing having a rotational axis and a housing exterior surface. The housing exterior surface includes a workpiece engagement surface intersected by the rotational axis and configured for engaging a workpiece assembly, and a turntable engagement surface disposed on a side of the housing opposite the workpiece engagement surface, intersected by the rotational axis, and configured for engaging a turntable of a machine center. A chamber is defined in the housing between the workpiece engagement surface and the turntable engagement surface along the rotational axis. A piston slidably disposed in the chamber and configured for being driven between an extended position and a retracted position relative to the chamber. A fluid passage is defined in the housing, connected to the chamber, and configured for providing fluid from a fluid line to the chamber.

A clamping force visualization clamp and a clamping force visualization clamp combination device. The clamping force visualization clamp includes a clamping force visualization device, the clamping force visualization device includes a first clamping body (01) for clamping an object, the first clamping body (01) is telescopically assembled on a base (14), an elastic element (110) is provided between the first clamping body (01) and the base (14), a clamping force scale (11) and a reading indicator (15) are respectively provided on the first clamping body (01) and the base (14), when the first clamping body (01) clamps the object, the elastic element (110) measures a clamping force, and the reading indicator (15) points to the clamping force scale (11) for reading, so that the magnitude of the clamping force can be intuitively seen and read during clamping, thereby achieving accurate clamping. A clamp including the clamping force visualization device is also involved.

An apparatus of holding a blank for incremental forming, includes a blank holder to which a blank is configured to be coupled; a motor configured to provide driving power; an interlocking means engaged to the motor and configured to rectilinearly move the blank holder in a direction perpendicular to a forming surface of the blank in conjunction with an operation of the motor; and a controller configured to control the operation of the motor so that the blank rectilinearly moves in accordance with a position of a forming robot configured for forming the blank.

A clamp head adapter (100), including: an adapter body (102); a slot (104) disposed on a first side (106) of the adapter body and configured to receive and secure therein a clamp head (24); and a groove (110) recessed into a body surface (112) of the adapter body opposite the first side. The groove includes a vertex (130); a first bevel angle (132) between a normal line (134) normal to the body surface and a first line (136) between the vertex and a first corner (138) of the groove, and a second bevel angle (150) between the normal line and a second line (152) between the vertex and a second corner (154) of the groove. The first bevel angle and the second bevel angle together form a groove angle (156) that is less than 90 degrees.
