<p>A vise mechanism (1) is adapted to be incorporated in a cutting machine. A base (30) is adapted to support a work (W) to be cut by the cutting machine. A supporting rod (2) is disposed on the base and extend in a first direction. A bracket (3) is provided on the supporting rod (2) and extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. A vise rod (4) is extending in the first direction while slidably penetrating the bracket (3) in the first direction. A first engagement member is formed on a circumferential face of the vise rod (4). A clamper (8) is provided on a lower end portion of the vise rod (4) and adapted to come in contact with the work (W) supported on the base (30). A locking member (10) is provided in the bracket (3) and formed with a slot (14) extending in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction to which the vise rod (4) is idly fitted, so that the locking member (10) is slidable within the bracket (3) in the third direction while intersecting with the vise rod (4). A second engagement member (15) is formed on an inner face of the slot (14) at a first end thereof in the third direction, and adapted to engage with the first engagement portion. An operating member (18) is operable to move the locking member (10) in the third direction between a first position at which the first engagement member engages with the second engagement member and a second position at which an inner face (15) of the slot (14) at a second end thereof in the third direction comes in contact with the circumferential face of the vise rod (4). An urging member (16) is urging the locking member (10) toward the second position.</p> |
