Abstract
The invention is concerned with a toggle clamp construction comprising an actuator cylinder including a linearly guided piston rod. The piston rod engages a header of the construction arranged on one end or the actuator cylinder where it is connected, via an adjusting mechanism, to a clamp arm pivotally located on the header. The header is provided with at least one engaging hole; an extension is disposed an the piston rod. For selectively fixing the opening angle which is to be taken by the clamp arm after opening the clamp mechanism, a support element for a stop is detachably inserted in the engaging hole. The said stop protrudes into the path of adjustment of the extension of the piston rod, thereby determining the opening angle.
