An embodiment of a vise may include a clamping structure having a first clamping jaw, a second clamping jaw positioned relative to the first clamping jaw, and a quick adjust jaw guide to maintain the first clamping jaw relative to the second clamping jaw. The quick adjust jaw guide may include a driving element to apply a force to move the first clamping jaw relative to the second clamping jaw, wherein the driving element comprises a release structure to release the applied force to facilitate rapid adjustment of the first clamping jaw relative to the second clamping jaw.

A clamping device that can be installed in a capping machine for substantially cylindrical caps, including prisms that are placed in contact with each other so as to create a cavity in which a cap can be housed and are free to translate with respect to each other away from or towards an axis of symmetry of the cavity, in order to clamp and/or compress the cap housed in said cavity, said clamping device wherein a first and a second prism form a first pair and a third and a fourth prism form a second pair in which at least the first and/or second pair includes guiding means configured to allow a linear type translation and to perform an at least one-directional, preferably bidirectional retention action of the prisms of each pair with respect to each other.

A vise assembly has a base and a pair of side walls extending from the base and providing guideways. A jaw is configured for guided movement by the guideways. An actuator is coupled to the jaw to cause movement of the jaw. A support supports at least a portion of the actuator. A biasing element is configured to urge the actuator to engage the support.

The present invention provides an improved release mechanism for clamping tools where problems of thread slipping due to worn out thread can be reduced by the structure of a plunger with a small diameter section and the engagement of the thread shaft is made more secure by the cam action on account of the shape of the plunger.

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 power tool assembly includes a base having a work surface, which is configured to receive a workpiece. A workpiece clamp assembly is moveably mountable on the work surface. The workpiece clamp assembly has a moveable clamp mount configured to fix the workpiece claim assembly in a plurality of different positions on the work surface, a clamp arm being operatively engageable with the moveable clamp mount and configured to move in a direction towards the fence, and at least one locking pin moveable between a first position and a second with respect to the moveable clamp mount wherein in the first position the at least one locking pin is configured to fix the workpiece clamp assembly to the base and in the second position the at least one locking pin is configured to release the workpiece clamp assembly from the base.

A workpiece clamping device having a first base body on which a first clamping body is slidably supported in a clamping direction, as well as a second base body on which a second clamping body is slidably supported in the clamping direction. The two clamping bodies are in engagement with a threaded spindle. A contact surface is provided on each base body on the side that faces the other base body respectively. The contact surfaces are arranged with base body distance in the clamping direction. A centering body of the threaded spindle has centering surfaces that abut at one assigned contact surface respectively in order to position the threaded spindle in clamping direction without clearance as far as possible.
