Abstract
A clamping device used for mounting die sections on machine platens, the device including a support carriage slidably mounted on the platen and having a clamp arm thereon. Means is provided for advancing and withdrawing the carriage from a die section on the platen and for moving the engaging end of the clamp arm toward and away from the platen, the carriage and clamp arm being activated from the periphery of the platen. Preferably, a camming assembly is engaged with an advancement screw and is slidably mounted on the platen to shift with the carriage. The camming assembly and the carriage are biased apart, but converge when the carriage contacts the edge of the die section in order to cam the clamp arm onto the die section.
