Abstract: A clamp including at least one clamping element (e.g., clamping jaw, clamping strap, etc.) and a hand-operated actuator operative to move the clamping element in a clamping direction, and a clamping force sensor in operative connection with the clamping element.

Abstract: A pipe clamp fixture that may be used for more than one size diameter pipe is described.

Abstract: A clamp including a plurality of clamping assemblies, a first of the clamping assemblies including two opposing clamping jaws that have first-shaped clamping surfaces, the clamping jaws being movably mounted on support structure for movement towards and away from each other; and a second of the clamping assemblies including two opposing clamping jaws that have second-shaped clamping surfaces which are shaped differently than the first-shaped clamping surfaces and which are movably mounted on support structure for movement towards and away from each other.

Abstract: A clamp accessory including a support element comprising a mounting surface adapted to rest on a work surface, the support element formed with at least one notch adapted to receive therein a bar of a bar clamp and support the bar at a distance spaced from the work surface.

Abstract: A clamp (1) including at least one clamping element (18) (e.g., clamping jaw, clamping strap, etc.) and a hand-operated actuator operative to move the clamping element (18) in a clamping direction, and a clamping force sensor (26) in operative connection with the clamping element (18). The clamping force sensor (26) may be in operative connection with a clamping force indicator (32), which may be mounted on the clamp (1) or in remote communication with the clamp force sensor (26).

Abstract: A guide clamp including a generally, straight elongate guide bar, a first clamp assembly mounted at one end of the guide bar, a second clamp assembly slidingly mounted along the guide bar, the clamp assemblies being adapted to clamp a workpiece therebetween, an end cap affixed to an opposite end of the guide bar, wherein at least one of the clamp assemblies includes a clamp body that is pivotable with respect to the guide bar.

Abstract: A bar clamp (10) comprising a bar (16), a first clamping jaw (12) mounted on the bar, a second clamping jaw (14) sliding mounted on the bar, at least one of the clamping jaws (12,14) comprising a double-faced clamping jaw (12A, 12B, 14A, 14B) comprising one face facing one end of the bar and another face facing an opposite end of the bar, wherein centers of both faces of the double-faced clamping jaw are positioned at substantially equal heights from the bar, and a jaw advancing mechanism (20) coupled to the second clamping jaw (14) and adapted to move the second clamping jaw (14) selectively towards or away from the first clamping jaw (12).
