[0010] Each clamping paw unit consists of a locating jaw 11, a locating seat 12, and a sliding jaw 13, as shown in fig. 2. The buttom center portion of the locating jaw 11 and locating seat 12 are extended downward to form into plug 110 and 120, these plugs are respectively inserted into one of the sockets on the working table surface, and these plugs are also used as rotating axises. The back side of sliding jaw 13 is extended backward to form into a rectangular or round guiding rod 131, and this rod 131 is fitted into the locating seat 12, through the driving force of threaded rod 121, as it is fitted into the locating seat. the sliding jaw can be moved forwardly or backwardly along the guiding rod 131.

[0011] The working table is made of thick casting steel material, as shown in fig. 3 and 4. the wording table has a smooth top surface, and the two sides of the front end of the table sur­face, they are provided with lateral protruded drill bits. 21, on the central portion of the table, it is provided with central slots 22, on the rest table surface, it is provided with many sidewise symetrical socket holes 23, and these socket holes 23 are used for the insertion of plugs 110,120 of the locating jaw 11 and locating seat 12 respectively. The front end surface of the working table is a deeply downwardly extended auxiliary table surface 24, on this auxiliary table surface 24, it is provided with a lateral row of sockets 25, as they are used for the insertion of clampoing paws to serve the lateral positioning purpose. As shown in fig. 4,5 and 6, in order to have the position of socket holes 23 and central slots 22 to be well matched, the thickness of the buttom sidd solid protion of working table, without socket holes and central slots, is reduced, meanwhile the thickness of other portion of the working table, with socket holes 23 and central slats 22, is increased in additon to it is strengthened by enforcement ribs.

[0012] The footing unit of the working table is made of 4 pieces of angular steels 3, as they are expanded downwardly to be formed into a pagoda shape, as shown in fig. 1,3,5, and 6. The middle section of the said structure is enforced at two locations with angular steels 31, by welding or riviting them on the 4 inner side of the 4 angular steels 3. The rectangular buttom and pagoda shaped footing unit is thus formed. Also each angular steels 3 and part of the enforcement angular steels 31 are provided with press fromed strength enhancement ribs.

[0013] Fig. 7 shows the structure of the table top version of the invention. In which, the clamping paw units and working table remain the same as before, except its footing unit is cut down into a short structure, as shown in fig. 8,10 and 11.

[0014] The footing unit of the table top version of the invention utilizes 4 pieces of shorter angular steels 4, their upper ends are welded to the 4 corners of the buttom side of the working table; the buttom ends of the angular steels 4 are welded to a invert U shaped base plate 41, and the angualr steels 4 are provided with strength enhancement ribs.

[0015] The selective adjustments by invertion of clamping paw units into various socket holes of the working table as said above are done by pulling out each locating jaw 11, and locating seat 12 respectively from one socket hole of the working table, and inserting them into another one socket hole of the working table respectively, therefore, the mininum clamping width can reach almost to zero, i.e. by inserting locating jaw 11 and locating seat 12 face to face into the relatative socket holes 23 which are nearest to the central slats 22. The maximum clamping width can be obtained by insert­ing locating jaw 11 and locating seat 12 into the relative socket holes 23 which are farest from the central slats 22. For complex shaped working pieces, more clamping paw units more than 21 will be inserted into the working table as they are required. If a working piece is required to be clamped in up right position, the central slats 22 can be used for the insertion of clamping paw units to serve this purpose.
