ABSTRACT:
A slide bar clamp having a straight surface on an elongated base that can serve as a straight edge. The base includes a longitudinal channel in which a rod is suspended. A first clamp surface is fixed at one end of the base. A moveable lock and clamp structure is mounted for longitudinal movement within the channel back and forth along the rod. The lock and clamp structure is formed in a housing. A handle is rotatably mounted on the housing. The handle locks by forcing an increasingly widened portion against a plurality of lock plates. The lock plates are arranged face-to-face and each has a hole through which the rod is inserted. In the locked position, the lock plates are tilted such that the inner edges of their holes grab the rod to prevent movement of the lock and clamp structure away from the fixed clamp surface. The slide bar clamp has a flat surface which permits mounting of the slide bar clamp on an adjacent flat surface or the back of an adjacent clamp. Thus, a double-sided clamp can be easily constructed.
