Abstract
A clamp-down device whereby an inaccessible portion, such as the rear end of an equipment rack, for example, may be secured to a base or anchor member from the front end of the rack which is readily accessible. The clamping arrangement includes a clamping bar having a wedge-shaped end which fits into a complementarily wedge-shaped slot in a pin secured to the base and extending through the rear end of the equipment rack. A jack-screw is operatively connected between the equipment rack and the clamping bar adjacent the front or accessible end of the rack, so that by turning the jack-screw, the wedge-shaped end of the clamping bar is forced tightly into the wedge-shaped slot in the pin to thereby draw the rear portion of the rack tightly against the base.
