Modular clamping system for pressure fluid components

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What I claim is: 1.
A clamping structure for releasably securing together two pressure fluid conducting components in sealed relationship, comprising, in combination, means on each component defining a sealing surface including a pressure fluid port therein and adapted for juxtaposed sealing engagement with a corresponding sealing surface on the other component, transversely extending flanges adjacent each of said sealing surfaces and defining on each component coplanar cam surfaces sloping away from the adjacent sealing surface, a U-shaped yoke having spaced parallel depending legs for straddling three sides of said components, means on each of said legs defining a pair of opposed sloping cam surfaces engageable with said flanges when said component sealing surfaces are positioned together for clamping said bodies together in sealed pressure fluid conducting engagement, and means for releasably securing said yoke to said components.
