Abstract

The ball and revolving plate (1) clamping device uses guide cavities each comprising a housing (7a) which determines a single position for the ball (3), and a ramp (7b) which is connected to the housing (7a) by way of a plurality of points of intersection (7c) situated on a slope discontinuity. This arrangement enables the clamping force to be optimized.
