Abstract
A device for clamping the edge of a diagnostic table top includes a C-shaped clamping block which engages the side, top and bottom surfaces at the edge of a table. A fixed jaw engages one of the top and bottom surfaces and an articulatable jaw engages the opposite table surface. The articulatable jaw includes an outer fixed plate and an inner movable plate connected by a pair of dual pivot links at opposite ends of the plates and an activating mechanism including an axially-rotatable vertical shaft with an offset pin. Rotation of the shaft by a lever arm attached thereto causes the pin to push horizontally on the inner plate. The dual pivot links transform the horizontal motion from the pin to a combined horizontal and vertical motion of the inner plate with respect to the outer plate about a circular arc.
