A quick release clamp assembly 2 comprises a clamp body 10 for applying a radially compressive force to the outer surface 4 of a pole 6. The clamp body 10 comprises a first end portion 12 and a second end portion 14. A connecting member 20 extends between the first and second end portions 12, 14 of the clamp body 10, and has a first end portion 22 and a second end portion 24. An actuator 26 is connected to the first end portion 22 of the connecting member 20. In use, when closing the clamp assembly 2 the actuator 26 moves the second end portion 14 of the clamp body 10 towards the first end portion 12 of the clamp body 10 and relative to the connecting member 20. The first end portion 22 of the connecting member 20 is connected to the second end portion 14 of the clamp body 10 by a resilient mount (such as a coil spring) 48. The resilient mount 48 opposes the action of the actuator 26 when closing the clamp assembly 2 and allows relative movement between the first end portion 22 of the connecting member 20 and the second end portion 14 of the clamp body 10. The clamp assembly 2 finds use, for example, in telescopic pole assemblies. |
