Abstract
A clamp has first and second movable jaws and a catch mechanism having a movable detent arranged to engage with a locking element in a number of different positions dependent upon the degree of separation of the jaws. The tightening force to tighten the jaws is transmitted through the catch mechanism and an actuator may be used to both engage/release the catch mechanism and move the jaws to the open position.
