AO-3596 QUICK-RELEASE CLAMP AND OBJECT ADAPTED TO BE HELD THEREBY AHS/mf 10-16-79 A quick-release clamp particularly suitable for microtomes is disclosed. The clamp has several fingers protruding from the face of the clamp assembly to grip an object. A pivotally mounted control arm first moves the protruding fingers away from the face of the assembly and then moves them away from the center axis of the assembly to provide clearance for removal of the object. The object preferably has tabs adapted to extend under a lip portion of the fingers.
