A vise is provided, including: a pushing block, including at least one pushing side, each said pushing side including at least one first pushing abutting inclined surface and at least one first restriction structure, each said first restriction structure having a first sliding abutting inclined surface; at least one clamping block, each said clamping block including at least one second restriction structure, each said second restriction structure including at least one second sliding abutting inclined surface, the at least one second restriction structure of each said clamping block slidably restrictable with the at least one first restriction structure, each said second restriction structure and one said first restriction structure restrictably abutting against each other and non-detachable on a direction perpendicular to a sliding path of the clamping block, the second sliding abutting inclined surface parallel to the first sliding abutting inclined surface.

A machine-tool vise is described that employs an articulated two-piece movable jaw including a jaw nut that engages the lead screw and a jaw bit coupled to the jaw nut through a slanted interface wherein the slanted interface between the nut and the bit is located at the top of the bit to eliminate the secondary effects found in the prior art.

A clamp release mechanism is provided. The clamp includes a body, a shaft slideably coupled to the body, a fixed jaw, and a moveable jaw coupled to the shaft. A locking component actuates between a locked position and an unlocked position. When in the locked position, the locking component biases the shaft to remain stationary with respect to the body. The clamp includes a securing component pivotally coupled to the locking component, and a biasing element that biases the securing components towards the shaft.

A work holding device includes a first jaw piece having an elongated first connection member for connecting the work holding device to a support. The first connection member defines a first passage. A second jaw piece has an elongated second connection member positionable within the first passage. The second connection member defines a second passage in communication with the first passage. A spindle assembly movably couples the second jaw piece to the first jaw piece. The spindle assembly is configured to move the second jaw piece with respect to the first jaw piece to create a clamping pressure when an object is placed between the first jaw piece and the second jaw piece.

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.

A centering device comprises a base, a first jaw assembly operably engaged with the base, and a second jaw assembly operably engaged with the base. The first jaw assembly is configured to move longitudinally along the base, and the second jaw assembly is also configured to move longitudinally along the base. The centering device also includes an actuation assembly that operably engages with the base, the first jaw assembly, and the second jaw assembly. The centering device also includes a drive assembly operably engaged with the first jaw assembly. The drive assembly is operable to move the first jaw assembly longitudinally along the base. The movement of the first jaw assembly longitudinally along the base activates the actuation assembly, and the second jaw assembly is caused to move longitudinally along the base via the actuation assembly.

A centering device comprises a base, a first jaw assembly operably engaged with the base, and a second jaw assembly operably engaged with the base. The first jaw assembly is configured to move longitudinally along the base, and the second jaw assembly is also configured to move longitudinally along the base. The centering device also includes an actuation assembly that operably engages with the base, the first jaw assembly, and the second jaw assembly. The centering device also includes a drive assembly operably engaged with the first jaw assembly. The drive assembly is operable to move the first jaw assembly longitudinally along the base. The movement of the first jaw assembly longitudinally along the base activates the actuation assembly, and the second jaw assembly is caused to move longitudinally along the base via the actuation assembly.

A vise assembly is disclosed. In one example, the vise assembly includes a vise body and a jaw pusher movably coupled to the vise body. The jaw pusher includes a jaw insert having a first top edge and a second top edge, where the first top edge is an outward extending radius edge. A jaw is provided having a jaw top and a jaw bottom, the jaw bottom including a recess for receiving the jaw insert, the recess including a ramped surface extending longitudinally along a top edge for receiving the jaw insert radius edge and wherein the positioned on the jaw pusher without the use of tools.

A jaw nut of a vise has a threaded bore with at least one opening on an end face. The jaw nut includes an inner annular groove concentric with a centerline of the threaded bore. The inner annular groove has a radius larger than a radius of the at least one opening from the centerline so as to provide at least a portion of an annular flange about the at least one opening having an inner annular surface facing in a direction opposite the end face. A threaded screw supported for rotation on the vise body threadably engages the threaded bore of the jaw nut. A brush seal is disposed in the inner annular groove with an outwardly facing annular surface engaging the inner annular surface of the inner annular groove.

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.
