Title:
UNIVERSAL CLAMP
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1999045293
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
A universal clamp has a slide (30) an anchor (50) and a toggle assembly (90). The toggle assembly has a toggle handle (92) and a link (94). The toggle handle is pivotally joined to the slide. The link connects the toggle handle to the anchor. The anchor contains a gripper assembly (60) that will grip a track assembly (80) when actuated. A cam bushing (33) in the slide operates the gripper assembly. The combination of the cam bushing and the gripper assembly form a slidable connection between the slide and the anchor. Both the slide and the anchor ride on a track assembly. The universal clamp may be converted to a universal belt tensioner (10d) by the addition of an idler bushing (20, Fig 50) to the slide. The drive belt runs over and is tensioned by the idler bushing.
