Abstract
A clamping arrangement may comprise a support having a base and an extension, a clamping member having a body, a clamping edge and one or more engaging features for engaging the support extension. The body may have a hole in which a fastener may be disposed when the clamping member engages the extension of the support. A stud and nut or a bolt may provide the fastener for moving the clamping member for applying a clamping force. The body may have an opening for engaging the extension of the support when the clamping member is in a certain position.
Claims25
A clamping arrangement comprises:
- a support having a base, an extension extending from the base, and a threaded stud extending from the base;
- a clamping member having a body having a hole therein, having a clamping edge at one end of the body and having one or more engaging features at the opposite end of the body for engaging the extension of the support, wherein the threaded stud is disposed in the hole when the engaging features of the clamping member engage the extension of the support;
- and
- a nut for engaging the threaded stud for moving the clamping member towards the base of the support for applying clamping force to a seal adjacent the clamping member.
A clamping arrangement comprises:
- a support having a base and an extension extending from the base;
- a clamping member having a body having a hole therein, having a clamping edge at one end of the body and having one or more engaging features at the opposite end of the body for engaging the extension of the support, wherein the hole is disposed adjacent the base of the support when the engaging features of the clamping member engage the extension of the support;
- and
- means extending through the hole in the body of the clamping member for moving the clamping member towards the base of the support for applying clamping force to an object adjacent the clamping member.
A clamping arrangement comprises:
- a support having a base with first and second ends, the support having an extension extending generally perpendicularly from the first end of the base, wherein the extension has at least one projection and at least one recess near an end thereof distal the base;
- a clamping member having a body with first and second ends, the clamping member having an elongated clamping edge extending from the first end of the body and having at least one recess and at least one projection at the second end of the body for engaging the at least one projection and at least one recess of the extension of the support,
- whereby the clamping member is supported by the extension of the base when the at least one recess and at least one projection at the second end of the body engage the at least one projection and at least one recess of the extension of the support;
- and
- a fastener for moving the body of the clamping member toward the base of the support when the clamping member is positioned with the at least one recess and at least one projection thereof engaging the at least one projection and at least one recess of the extension of the support,
- whereby an object may be clamped by the elongated clamping edge of the clamping member when the fastener is tightened to move the clamping member towards the base of the support.
