ABSTRACT:
A work holding apparatus includes a generally horizontally enlarged platelike support pallet having a plurality of vises mounted on and integrated into the pallet. The vises are typically disposed in sidewardly spaced but generally parallel relation. Each vise is associated with an elongate groove which extends horizontally of the pallet and opens downwardly from the upper surface thereof, and the vise jaws cooperate with and project downwardly into the groove so as to be movable longitudinally of the groove, whereupon the pallet effectively functions as the base for the jaws to simplify the overall structure of the apparatus and minimize the overall height thereof. The jaws are preferably activated by an elongate actuator screw which extends longitudinally of the groove and is also preferably positioned so as to be at least partially recessed into the groove to further facilitate the integration of the vise into the pallet and the minimization of the overall structure and height thereof.
