LOW PARTICULATING TOGGLE CLAMP WITH SECONDARY LOCK APPARATUS

摘要

A clean toggle clamp is configured to operate without creating excessive debris. The clean toggle clamp includes a base; an arm rotationally coupled to the base via a first bearing isolated rod; a clamping element; a handle is rotationally coupled to the arm via a second bearing isolated rod. The handle includes a revolving latching pin and a linkage rotationally coupled on a first end to the handle via at least one third bearing isolated rod and on a second end to the base via a fourth bearing isolated rod. The toggle clamp includes a secondary latch rotationally coupled to the base and configured to engage the revolving latching pin to inhibit movement of the handle and arm. The handle, arm, linkage and secondary latch are configured to rotate without a frictional sliding of any of surface of the arm, the handle, the linkage or the base.
