Patent attributes
A clamp for a T-slotted structural element can be positioned anywhere along the T-slot. A housing and stop are opposingly attached to the structural member, and a horizontal shaft is engaged with the housing. A fixing pin is inserted through a vertical hole in the housing and attached to a slot key that is inserted in the T-slot. Actuating a lever or handle applies an upward force on the fixing pin, pressing the key against the top of the T-slot and fixing the housing in place. In embodiments, the stop can be repositioned to any of a plurality of locations along the T-slot. In certain embodiments, the stop and housing can be placed on different surfaces of the structural member. In various embodiments, the stop and/or housing are constructed with different slot profiles that match their respective T-slotted structural elements. In embodiments, the housing is rotatable.
