Abstract
A welding fixture clamp includes a stationary clamp jaw having a first guide surface and a pivotal clamp jaw having a second guide surface. The second guide surface slides relative to the first guide surface as the pivotal clamp jaw pivots about the pivot axis. Side shields are secured to one of the pivotal clamp jaw and the stationary clamp jaw to extend over the other one of the pivotal clamp jaw and the stationary clamp jaw to shield the first guide surface and the second guide surface from weld splatter and debris. A pivot pin connects the side shield to the stationary clamp jaw and operatively connects the pivotal clamp jaw to the stationary clamp jaw to pivot about the pivot axis.
