  • TRIGGER CLAMP WITH PINCH PROTECTION
    Publication number: 20210354270
    Abstract: A trigger clamp includes a rail, a movable jaw configured to move along the rail, a handle fixed relative to the movable jaw, and a trigger movable relative to the handle, which when pulled towards the handle causes movement of the movable jaw along the rail. The handle comprises a trigger facing wall generally extending along a first plane, and a fin generally extending to a second plane, the second plane being closer to the trigger than the first plane. The trigger is shaped to be received to an interior of the fin at least when the trigger is squeezed by a hand of a user, such that an index finger of the user remains at the exterior of the fin. Methods of manufacturing and using similar trigger clamps are also disclosed.
