摘要

The camming device weighs no more than four pounds for forcing an unsecured member into contact with a secured member where the unsecured member may be secured with a support member. The camming device includes a support plate which carries a locking arrangement. The locking arrangement includes a pair of locking lugs and a locking lever. The device also includes a camming member having camming surfaces and an operating lever having a handle. The camming member is pivotally secured with the support plate in an eccentric fashion. In operation the support member is positioned adjacent an unsecured member and on one of the support members. The lugs are arranged to extend along opposite sides of the support member. The locking lever is rotated in one direction which locks the support plate with the support member. Now the operating lever is rotated to move the camming member against the unsecured member which presses it into position adjacent the secured member. Here it is secured in position with the support member.
