Abstract
An adjustable clamp for a missile launcher system having a pair of semi-resilient wedge members which fit between the missile hanger lugs and launcher rail and are drawn into the gap by means of a pair of plate members and a pair of bolts. The Teflon wedges fill the gap between the missile hanger lugs and the launcher rail and reduce vibration during captive flight and protect the rails against damage.
