Abstract

The invention is a clamp. In detail, the clamp comprises a base having a vertical disposed first jaw rising from the base. A second jaw is movably mounted to the base, the second jaw being movable in a horizontal direction to and from the first jaw. An actuation system is mounted to the base and is coupled to the second jaw such that upon the application of a vertically directed actuation force the second jaw can be either moved toward or away from the first jaw.
