Abstract
A vise is combined with a C clamp and the C clamp is fitted with at least 2 plug members fitting into receiving holes in the vise or in the C clamp, there being a larger number of holes than plug members whereby the C clamp, plugs and holes permit various orientations of the vise on a work bench.
Claims9
A vise in combination with a C clamp for attaching the vise to a work bench in various positions, said vise comprising:
- a movable jaw;
- a spindle to move said movable jaw;
- a quick release mechanism to provide coarse adjustment of said spindle and said movable jaw;
- a base plate with a fixed jaw and with a fixed abutment block, which is penetrated by said spindle, and two parallel guide bars for said movable jaw extending between said fixed jaw and said abutment block, said bars penetrating said fixed jaw and extending to form two plugs projecting at the outside of said fixed jaw;
- said C clamp having clamping screw means for clamping a work bench or the like and a basic body which is provided with a first receiving hole to receive one of said plugs and further provided with at least three further holes extending parallel to the first hole and distributed over a circular arc spaced apart at 90.degree. with respect to said first hole as a center and adapted to receive alternatively the other of said plugs and said first center hole used for all positions being provided with a further clamping means to clamp the inserted plug in any of its diametral directions.

A vise in combination with a C clamp for attaching the vise to a work bench in various positions, said vise comprising:
- a movable jaw;
- a spindle to move said movable jaw;
- a base plate with a fixed jaw and with a fixed abutment block which is penetrated by said spindle, and two parallel guide bars for said movable jaw extending between said fixed jaw and said abutment block, said bars penetrating said fixed jaw and extending to form two plugs projecting at the outside of said fixed jaw;
- said C clamp having a clamp screw for clamping a workbench or the like and a basic body, which consists essentially of:
- a clamp arm engageable over the work bench;
- a guiding arm extending parallel to said clamp arm for guiding said clamp screw, and a basic jaw plate connecting said clamp arm and guiding arm;
- said clamp arm being provided with two parallelly aligned receiving holes spaced at a distance and in a size to allow the insertion of said two plugs of the vise, one of the receiving holes being formed by two jaws which can be clamped together by a set screw, and the basic jaw plate being provided with at least two further holes distributed over a circular arc drawn around that center receiving hole which is formed by the said two jaws, the further holes being parallel to the two receiving holes and being at a distance from said center hole equal to the distance between the two plugs so that the further holes can alternatively receive that plug which is not inserted in the center hole.
