<p>A fixture (91) securely holds a blank (80) having at least two spaced apart locators (82,84). The fixture (91) has a base (92) with spaced apart end walls (94,96), one (92) supporting a clamping mechanism (106) and the other supporting an abutment (120), at least one of which is free to pivot in relation to the end wall that supports it. Upon securing the blank (80) into the fixture (91), the clamping mechanism (106) mates with one of the locators (82) on the blank and forces another of the locators (84) into contact with the abutment (120). A method includes providing a blank (80) having a least two spaced apart locators (82,84), providing a fixture (91) having a base (92) with two spaced apart end walls (94,96), one supporting a clamping mechanism (106) and the other supporting an abutment (120), at least one of which is free to pivot in relation to the end wall that supports it, and securing the blank (80) into the fixture (91) where in the clamping mechanism (106) mates with one of the locators (82) and forces another of the locators (84) into contact with the abutment (120). <IMAGE></p> |
