Abstract
A C-clamp including a two-member back with a first member telescoping from a second member to a selective position where it is releasably secured. A securing mechanism, such as a cross pin or a ratchet a pawl in a rack on the first member, releasably secures the members together at a preferred position. In the preferred embodiment, the second member comprises a channel with the first member passing into the channel. Thus, the cross pin at the channel entry end engages one of a plurality of grooves in the top of the first member. To adjust the extent of the inner member from the outer member, it rotates out of the channel to separate the pin from the selective groove, allowing the inner and out members to adjust their relative position. Equivalently, the cross pin may remove from a groove of a nonrotating inner member.
