Abstract
A clamping device for a sliding mount, particularly a dove-tail mount, in which a guide projecting from a slide clock is slidably mounted in a guide groove of a guide body. The clamping device includes a slot in the guide body extending parallel to the guide groove and defining a clamping part between the slot and the groove which can be pressed against the guide. A cavity, in which a bolt is located, is provided in the guide body such that the upper end of the bolt is within the unslotted part of the guide body and the lower end of the bolt is adjacent said clamping part. A clamping screw extends within a threaded bore in the body and is arranged to displace the bolt such that the lower end of the bolt presses against the clamping part whereby the slide block is clamped relative to the groove.
