A cooling clamp is operable to hold coolant and an item in proximity to one another and includes a pair of relatively shiftable jaws and a receptacle mounted to at least one of the jaws. The jaws are shiftable into and out of a closed position, with the jaws being configured to receive at least a portion of the item therebetween and apply a clamping pressure to the item when in the closed position. The receptacle is mounted to at least one of the jaws and presents a chamber to receive the coolant. The receptacle includes an exposed wall section that defines in part the chamber and is configured to contact the item when the jaws are in the closed position, with the exposed wall section thereby serving as a direct thermal conductor between the item and the coolant.

Clamping tool

A clamping tool is provided which includes a base, a clamping arm articulated to the base for pivotal movement about a first pivot axis, a handle articulated to the clamping arm or base for pivotal movement about a second pivot axis, a bridge element articulated to the handle or the clamping arm for pivotal movement about a third pivot axis, a first wedge element having a first wedge surface, and a second wedge element having a second wedge surface facing towards the first wedge surface. In a first positional range of the handle, the wedge surfaces are spaced apart. In a second positional range of the handle, the second wedge surface is supported on the first wedge surface, displacement of the first wedge element driving a displacement of the second wedge element. The bridge element is articulated to the first wedge element for pivotal movement about a fourth pivot axis.

Adjustable pliers with lever type positioning device

A pair of adjustable pliers with lever type positioning device includes a clamp body, a first handle slidably engaged with the clamp body, a second handle, and a lever type positioning device. The first handle includes an adjustment tooth. The lever type positioning device pivotally combines the second handle with the first handle, so that the second handle and the clamp body are linked. The lever type positioning device includes a lever member and a positioning member. The lever member pivots between a locked position and a release position. The positioning member is combined with the lever member and includes a positioning tooth. At the locked position, the positioning tooth is engaged with the adjustment tooth. At the release position, the positioning member is disengaged from the adjustment tooth, thereby adjusting the opening degree between the clamp body and the first handle.
