Abstract
A clamp having a frame and a latch member mounted within the frame so that the latch member is translatable along a displacement axis and rotatable about the displacement axis. A guide pin mounted to the frame engages a channel operatively associated with the latch member. An actuator mounted to the frame and operatively associated with the latch member translates the latch member along the displacement axis. The engagement of the guide pin and channel causes the latch member to be rotated about the displacement axis as the latch member is translated along the displacement axis.
