Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013109251A1] An apparatus for clamping a work piece at a maximum force may include a body, a rod, a cap, a biasing mechanism, and a pair of tangs. A first end of the body may be configured to engage a first surface of the work piece. The rod may be configured to move along the axial length of the body. Rotating the cap may cause the cap to move axially along the rod along threads. A biasing mechanism may be connected to the rod such that axial movement of the rod beyond a desired point may engage the biasing mechanism. Rotation of the cap may be configured to compress the biasing mechanism. The tangs may be configured to engage a second surface of the work piece at a desired level of force at different levels of extension of the tangs and rod.
