A quick grip pocket hole jig system is presented having a support section having a clamp support, an end stop and a back stop. A clamping assembly is connected to the support section having a clamping rod that extends through the clamp support. A drill guide carrier having a drill guide assembly is connected to the clamping rod on a forward side of the clamp support. A clamp body having a trigger and a release mechanism is connected to the clamping rod on a rearward side of the clamp support. The clamp body is a quick grip clamp body that facilitates quick gripping of a workpiece positioned within the support section. The clamping assembly includes a return spring and a release mechanism such that when the release mechanism is actuated the drill guide carrier and the drill guide assembly are automatically moved to a non-clamping position.

A cam lock connected with a fence assembly includes a handle portion, a top carrier and a bottom carrier connected by a threaded shaft. The handle portion and top carrier are positioned above the fence assembly and a work table or surface; wherein the bottom carrier is positioned below the fence assembly and work table or surface. The top carrier and bottom carrier both have a pair of alignment arms with a space positioned therebetween, the alignment arms of the top carrier nest with the alignment arms of the bottom carrier. The handle portion and top carrier both have cam surfaces that engage one another such that when the handle portion is rotated around the axis of the threaded shaft the handle portion is raised or lowered thereby raising or lowering the bottom carrier, thereby locking or unlocking the fence assembly in a quick, durable, easy and accurate manner.

A material handling device for use in manipulating a tubular substrate includes a C-clamp, which in turn comprises a movable jaw that is pivotally coupled to a fixed jaw. A handle is coupled to and extends from an outer surface of the fixed jaw. An actuator is coupled to the fixed jaw. The actuator is operationally coupled to the movable jaw so that the actuator is positioned firstly to pivot the movable jaw relative to the fixed jaw to position the C-clamp in an open configuration, and, secondly, to pivot the movable jaw relative to the fixed jaw to position the C-clamp in a closed configuration. In the open configuration, the C-clamp is configured to insert a tubular substrate. In the closed configuration, the C-clamp couples to the tubular substrate, positioning a user to grasp the handle to manipulate the tubular substrate.

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.

An apparatus and a method for correcting a vehicle member, by which twisting or deflection of a vehicle member including a side member of the vehicle, may be corrected, may be disclosed, wherein the apparatus for correcting a vehicle member includes a base extending in a lengthwise direction thereof, and a plurality of correction units disposed on the base to be movable.

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.

A panel support assembly is presented herein. The panel support assembly includes a support base, a fixed support structure and a swing arm assembly. The fixed support structure extends from the support base and defines at least one vertical panel engaging surface. The swing arm assembly is pivotally attached to the base and is disposable between a normally biased, at least partially raised position and a lowered, clamped position. The swing arm assembly includes a base, a swing arm panel and a pivoting pressure plate. A biasing device is attached to the base of the swing arm assembly and is configured to normally bias the swing arm assembly into the at least partially raised position until an opposing weight is applied to the base of the swing arm assembly that will oppose the biasing force and automatically position the swing arm assembly into the lowered clamped position.
