Abstract
An improved split body clamping or pressure containment device is provided where the body members are retained together through the use of a plurality of double ended links. The ends of each of the links are juxtaposed to and associated respectively with each of the clamping body members. Rotary cams mounted on shafts which pass through the ends of the links compress the body members together and cause other movements of one of the body members and the links.
