ABSTRACT:
A dock clamp employed in combination with a dock support structure that supports a dock section at an adjusted height by means of post members that are slidable within corresponding sleeve members attached to the dock section, the dock clamp serving to provide a fixed frictional coupling between a pair of corresponding post and sleeve members. The dock clamp includes a pair of rigid pieces each having an open end and a pronged end with a tapered configuration that is wedged between corresponding post and sleeve members at opposing ends and at one side of the sleeve member for applying a radial force in a direction that drives said post and sleeve members together at the side opposite to said one side in response to an applied axial force. The dock clamp further includes fastener means for applying an axial force by forcing facing open ends of said pair of rigid pieces toward one another.
