  • Publication number: 20080004655
    Abstract: A bar clamp includes a forward gripping section having two jaws, a rear housing, and an interconnecting tube. Pressing back a trigger handle will cause the jaws to grip an article, and counterclockwise pivot a link to cause a lock member to move through an opening of a locking plate into a slot of a release member. The article is gripped permanently after releasing the trigger handle by lockingly engaging a top of the lock member with an upper face of the opening. Counterclockwise pivoting a release lever will disengage the lock member with the opening, release a stored elastic force and apply same to the trigger handle for clockwise pivoting, and move one jaw away from the other jaw for dropping the article.
