Clamping assembly

A member for clamping one wall section to a second wall section in the manufacture of a structure, said clamping member comprising:

• a base adapted to be removably attached to a supporting surface;
• an elongated upright support member having an upper end and a lower end and said lower end of said support member being held by said base for positioning said support member generally perpendicular to said supporting surface;
• said support member having attached thereto at least one jaw movable toward and away from said support member in directions generally perpendicular to the long axis of said support member;
• a clamping assembly including vise means coupled to a connecting means and said connecting means also being in movable engagement with said support member at a point located generally at said upper end;
• and
• said connecting means having a rod like member attached to said vise means and having means laterally extending from said rod to contact said support member, and said support member having an opening adapted to permit said rod like member to prevent said laterally extending means from freely passing through said opening;
• whereby, when a first wall is to be joined to a first surface of a second wall said upright support member is positioned alongside a second surface of the second wall, said vise means grips said first wall, said connecting means extends over said second wall for engaging said upright support means, and said movable jaw is moved against said second surface of said second wall for urging said first and second structural walls into engagement.
