ABSTRACT:
Draw-down jaw for fitting in vises equipped with a bearing jaw (6) and a clamping jaw (7), the clamping jaw being able to execute a drawing-down motion with respect to the bearing jaw for applying the gripping force. The clamping jaw (7) is mounted on the bearing jaw (6) pivotally about a horizontal pivot axis (8), which is arranged in the upper region of the bearing jaw (6). The clamping jaw (7) has on its side facing toward the workpiece (4) a gripping edge (9) or gripping surface, to which their adjoins upwardly a plane gripping surface (10) and downwardly a free surface (11). The restoring springs are designed as compression springs (12) and thus for absorbing the gripping forces in the elastic range.
