A clamping cartridge is provided which comprises a plurality of clamping mechanisms spaced apart on a frame or chassis. The clamping mechanisms are generally oriented perpendicular to their direction of spacing. The clamping mechanism s are of the type which comprise a pair of relatively movable jaws which are biase d together. The jaws are openable by levers which are connectable to or integr al with the jaws such that when the end of the levers are moved relatively toward on e another, the jaws are caused to open. The actuation fevers extend through th e frame where they engage a camming mechanism which is operable to urge togeth er respective pairs of levers of each clamping mechanism so as to cause the plurality of clamping mechanisms to open in unison and to permit the respective pairs of levers of each clamping mechanism to separate so as to cause the jaws of the plurality of clamping mechanisms to close or clamp against one or more objec ts which may have been placed therebetween. The clamping cartridges are useful in a variety of applications requiring clamping of one or more articles in a si de- by-side relationship. One such application is a transportation/storage rack which includes a plurality of aligned horizontal and vertical clamping cartridges for clamping the edges of glass panels.
