ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a clamping device which comprises a U-shaped spring secured to a spring retainer in a pivotable manner. The spring retainer is a sub-assembly which consists of two plates forming a slot when sandwiched together to accommodate the spring. The two plates associated with the retainer assembly accommodate a rotatable bolt or screw which screw is directed into a compression stop assembly. A bracket is mounted to the appropriate waveguide flange. This bracket contains an aperture to accommodate a projecting end of the spring. The mating waveguide flanges are clamped in place by adjusting the captive screw which serves to deflect the U-spring completing the clamping action. The unit, as described in the specification, contains two U-shaped springs both of which are coupled to a central spring retaining unit and can operate to connect or disconnect two separate waveguide sections.
