  • Patent number: 5608970
    Abstract: A quick release clamp for clamping relative to a member is provided as well as a method of locating frame members of a roof truss frame on a roof truss frame table to permit fabrication of roof truss frames. The clamp has a moveable clamping jaw, a threaded clamping shaft, and a threaded clamping nut. The jaw is attached to one end of the shaft so that it can rotate with the shaft when the shaft is rotated. The shaft has a stop at the opposite end to the jaw. The nut is screw-threadably attached to the shaft between the jaw and the stop. The jaw is arranged to pass through an aperture in a member to which the clamp is to be attached. The aperture may in fact comprise a slot in a track member. The jaw and the aperture are shaped so that in one angular rotated position of the jaw relative to the aperture the jaw can pass through the aperture but in another angular rotated position relative to the aperture the jaw cannot pass through the aperture.
