Abstract
A work support or pallet is slidable onto a holding device on bearing surfaces along a rectilinear guide defining parallel angular paths. The holding device has two clamping slides which are urged transversely to the rectilinear guide to bear on a mating surface part of work support to locate it both in the longitudinal direction and transversely thereof. One slide has slanting teeth mating with teeth on the work support in such a manner that the clamping force components locate the work support with respect to both longitudinal and transverse directions and hold the work support against the bearing surfaces.
