Abstract
A swing clamp includes a body with a first end and second end. The body defines a bore through the first end and a cavity at the second end. The bore is in communication with the cavity. A plunger is slidably and rotatably held in the body bore. A lever is pivotally connected to the second end. A link arm pivotally connects between the plunger and the lever. A housing includes an attachment portion and a cylindrical portion. The cylindrical portion includes a bore to enable passage of the plunger. A groove is formed in an inner surface of the bore. The groove guides a pin coupled with the plunger. A clamp finger is secured on the end of the plunger. The clamp finger rotates as the plunger is moved in the bore.
