Abstract
The present invention provides a hinged clamp which allows ease in both installing and removing drop-in type food warmers. A warmer well which is placed or dropped into a cut out defined in a counter top includes an outwardly extending flange to support the warmer well on the counter top. A nut provided on the outer surface of the warmer well has a corresponding threaded member which secures a clamping means which includes a body portion and an arm. To secure the warmer well in place, the body portion and arm are positioned away from the warmer well and secured to the nut by the threaded member, which causes the arm to secure against the counter top.
