Bar clamp and bar clamp assembly

摘要

A bar clamp configured for engagement with a workpiece is provided. The bar clamp includes a pair of parallel elongated bars, each extending along a longitudinal axis. The bar clamp also includes a fixed connector and a movable connector extending along a transverse axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis for connecting the elongated bars together and maintaining a transverse separation therebetween. The bar clamp further includes an adjustment mechanism for adjusting a transverse separation between the elongated bars and for compressing the workpiece along the transverse axis, a positioning mechanism for adjusting a position of the movable connector along the longitudinal axes of the elongated bars, and a longitudinal compression mechanism connected to the fixed connector for compressing the workpiece along the longitudinal axis. A bar clamp assembly for engagement with a workpiece and including a plurality of spaced-apart bar clamps configured for receiving therebetween the workpiece is also provided.

1. A bar clamp configured for engagement with a workpiece, the bar clamp comprising:
a pair of parallel elongated bars, each elongated bar extending along a longitudinal axis between a first and a second end thereof; a fixed connector and a movable connector for connecting the pair of elongated bars together, each of the fixed and movable connectors extending between the elongated bars along a transverse axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the elongated bars, and maintaining a transverse separation between the elongated bars; an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the transverse separation between the elongated bars and compressing the workpiece along the transverse axis, the adjustment mechanism comprising a pair of adjusting screws, each adjusting screw being threadably engageable into a corresponding one of the elongated bars along a screw axis perpendicular to both the longitudinal and the transverse axes, and being configured, upon tightening thereof, to compressively engage against one of the fixed connector and the movable connector; a positioning mechanism for adjusting a position of the movable connector along the longitudinal axes of the elongated bars; and a longitudinal compression mechanism connected to the fixed connector and operable to compress the workpiece along the longitudinal axes of the elongated bars.
