Abstract
A workpiece can be clamped between the jaws of a vise in a defined position easily when it is supported by positioning pins. They are located in a plurality of bores in the jaw and can be projected out of the jaw in operation. The pins comprise a pin body and a stop member. Both elements provide a shape which allows an economical production and easy connection with each other. In normal operation the pins can be projected out of the jaw by fluid pressure and be pushed back manually. A bent pin can be pushed or pulled to the front out of the jaw easily by destroying the stop member in a predetermined way or separating it from the pin body.
