CLAMP FOR USE WITH A WORKBENCH

摘要

There is provided a clamp for use with a workbench comprising a clamp frame defining first (137a) and second (137b) frame arms arranged in spaced parallel relationship relative to each other; and provided to the clamp frame, a first clamp element (146) defining a first clamping surface (147) and a second clamp element (140) defining a second clamping surface (148). The first clamp element is in fixed relationship relative to the clamp frame and the second clamp element is movable relative to the clamp frame in the direction of the first and second frame arms from a clamp closed position to a clamp open position, in which the first and second clamping surfaces are spaced relative to each other to define an open clamp jaw therebetween. Each of the first and second frame arms of the clamp frame includes a well-form portion (190a, 190b) that is positioned in the clamp open position to line up with the open clamp jaw such as to form a well-form support thereto. A quick release mechanism for the clamp is also provided.
