Abstract
A disengagable locking arrangement for holding an inductor assembly for heating a valve seat, which assembly is reciprocally movable along a path through a support structure. The support structure includes a "P" shaped clamp disposed within a cavity in the support structure. The clamp has arcuate arm portions substantially surrounding the movable inductor assembly with surfaces for frictional engagement therewith. The clamp also has base arm portions laterally offset from the movable assembly through which a spindle generally transverse to the path of the member extends. A mechanism associated with the spindle is provided for drawing the arcuate arm portions toward each other when the spindle is rotated about its axis in a predetermined direction to effect locking engagement between the clamp and the assembly.
