Abstract
A variable angle flexible band clamping corner for clamping work piece angles in desired locations to permit nailing, screwing, gluing, or otherwise joining the work pieces. The clamping corner consists of two pivotable contact pads, where the face of each contact pad extends on both sides of the face of the other contact pad. The contact pads can be either constant width fingers that bypass each other when pivoting, or a wide pad with thinner fingers extending from the pad, where the fingers interleave with each other. A corner formed by two work pieces positioned between the two contact pads remains aligned by the force of the face of each contact pad. The clamping corner includes a body that receives force and transmits the force to the contact pads which hold the work piece corner in place.
