A clamping device (10) for clampingly interconnecting a first elongate element (17) and a second elongate element (15). The clamping device (10) comprises a shaft (19), and a first clamping member (21) mounted on the shaft. The first clamping member (21) has first and second clamping sections (31, 32) between which the first elongate element (17) can be slidingly received and clampingly engaged. An aperture (73) is provided in the shaft (19) adjacent the second section (32) of the first clamping member (21) to slidingly receive the second elongate member (15). A second clamping member (22) is mounted on the shaft (19) and is displaceable therealong for clamping the second elongate element (15) between the first clamping member (21) and the second clamping member (22). A cam locking mechanism (23) is operably connected to the shaft (19) for selectively moving the clamping device between clamping and non-clamping conditions. In moving the clamping device (10) into the clamping condition, the cam locking mechanism (23) causes displacement of the second clamping member (22) along the shaft (19) such that the second elongate element (15) is clampingly engaged between the first clamping member (21) and the second clamping member (22).
A clamping device for clampingly interconnecting first and second elongate elements, the clamping device comprising a shaft, a first clamping member mounted on the shaft, the first clamping member having first and second clamping sections between which the first elongate element can be slidingly received and clampingly engaged, an aperture in the shaft adjacent the second section of the first clamping member to slidingly receive the second elongate member, a second clamping member mounted on the shaft and being displaceable therealong for clamping the second elongate element between the first clamping member and the second clamping member, and actuation means associated with the shaft for selectively moving the clamping device between clamping and non-clamping conditions.
A clamping device for clampingly interconnecting first and second elongate elements, the clamping device comprising a shaft, a first clamping member mounted on the shaft, the first clamping member having first and second clamping sections between which the first elongate element can be slidingly received and clampingly engaged, the shaft being connected to the first clamping section and extending beyond the second clamping section, an aperture in the shaft adjacent the second clamping section of the first clamping member to slidingly receive the second elongate member, a second clamping member mounted on the shaft and being displaceable therealong for clamping the second elongate element between the first clamping member and the second clamping member, and a cam locking mechanism operatively connected to the shaft for applying a compressive force between the second clamping member and the first clamping section of the first clamping member thereby to cause clamping engagement of the first and second elongate elements.
A clamping device for clamping a retractor shaft to a support rail, the clamping device comprising a shaft, a first clamping member mounted on the shaft, the first clamping member having first and second clamping sections between which the support rail can be slidingly received and clampingly engage, an aperture in the shaft adjacent the first clamping member to slidingly receive the retractor shaft, a second clamping member mounted on the shaft and being displaceable therealong for clamping the retractor shaft between the first clamping member and the second clamping member, and actuation means associated with the shaft for selectively moving the clamping device between clamping and non-clamping conditions.
