Abstract
Systems and methods are directed toward clamping assemblies that can be used to at least temporarily secure an object to a surfacer in a non-parallel arrangement. In at least one embodiment, a gimbal knob can be used that includes a gimbal joint able to receive a connecting bolt over a range of angles with respect to an axis of rotation of the gimbal knob. As the gimbal knob is rotated, the gimbal joint can pivot to receive the connecting bolt, and the connecting bolt can be pulled into a threaded receptacle of the gimbal joint. The gimbal knob can use a number of bearings to allow for pivoting of the threaded receptacle as necessary. Multiple gimbal knobs can be used to secure an object to a curved, irregular, or non-planar surface or other object.
