Abstract
A vise includes a pair of clamping jaws defining a cavity therebetween for holding a workpiece or tool, a primary screw for moving the pair of clamping jaws toward and away from one another, thereby allowing a workpiece or tool to be clamped in a first direction, and an anvil extending outwardly from a first clamping jaw of the pair of clamping jaws.
Claims19
A vise comprising:
- a pair of clamping jaws defining a cavity therebetween for holding a workpiece or tool, the pair of clamping jaws including a first clamping jaw with a first body, a first jaw face removably coupled to the first body, and a first open slot formed in a side of the first body such that a first ear is formed at an end of the first open slot;
- a fastener disposed in the first open slot and extending through the first ear and into engagement with the first jaw face, thereby removably connecting the first jaw face to the first body;
- a primary screw for moving the pair of clamping jaws toward and away from one another, thereby allowing a workpiece or tool to be clamped in a first direction;
- and
- an anvil extending outwardly from the first clamping jaw.

A vise comprising:
- a pair of clamping jaws defining a cavity therebetween for holding a workpiece or tool;
- a primary screw for moving the pair of clamping jaws toward and away from one another, thereby allowing a workpiece or tool to be clamped in a first direction;
- an anvil extending outwardly from a first clamping jaw of the pair of clamping jaws, the anvil having a work surface that is parallel with a top surface of the first clamping jaw;
- a body connected to the first clamping jaw;
- and
- a base connected to the body and configured to support the anvil and to allow the anvil to be squared with a structure on which the anvil is mounted, the base having:
- a mounting plate with an element, a rib extending outwardly from the element in order to strengthen the locking bar, and a first plurality of teeth extending outwardly from the element, and
- a locking bar connected to the mounting plate and having a second plurality of teeth, wherein the second plurality of teeth engage the first plurality of teeth in order to minimize the likelihood that the locking bar will become disengaged from the mounting plate.

- and
- an anvil extending outwardly from a first clamping jaw of the pair of clamping jaws, the anvil having a work surface that is parallel with a top surface of the first clamping jaw and that is disposed in a plane;
- a body connected to the first clamping jaw;
- a base connected to the body and configured to support the anvil and to allow the anvil to be squared with a structure on which the anvil is mounted, the base having a mounting plate with a first plurality of teeth, and a locking bar connected to the mounting plate with a second plurality of teeth, wherein the second plurality of teeth engage the first plurality of teeth in order to minimize the likelihood that the locking bar will become disengaged from the mounting plate;
- and
- a lever movably mounted to the body, configured to rotate about an axis perpendicular to the plane, and configured to adjust a position of the locking bar with respect to the mounting plate.
