A pair of bifurcated clamps or clamping members are correspondingly actuated toward each other by a pressurized fluid cylinder and associated piston rod, such cylinder being attached to a clamp support member to which one of the clamps is attached and the otherwise free end of the piston rod being attached to a second clamp support member to which the other of the clamps is attached. A pair of coil springs supports the clamp suppprt members in a vertically floating manner, such clamp support members slidably surrounding guide shafts for vertical alignment of the support members and the attached clamps.
