Lever clamp
| Details |
Inventors: Stuart, Timothy Scott;
Assignee: Stuart Shelving, LLC (Potomac, MD)
Primary Examiner: Ramirez; Ramon O.
Assistant Examiner: DeLuca; Jerome
Attorney, Agent or Firm:
A lever clamp which can be securely mounted at selected locations along a shelf or similar object includes a body member containing a slot for receiving the shelf, and a lever or clamping member pivotally connected with the body member which serves to clamp the clamp to the shelf when pivoted to an upright position. Items such as a lamp or dispenser, but not including a stop member, partition or banding and binning, are connected with the top of the clamping member to attach such objects to the shelf. A L-shaped body member is also disclosed in which a portion of the clamping member is connected with a stop member, partition, lamp or other item to attach said items to a shelf. Also disclosed are a flex member for the lever clamp which serves to increase the clamping force on the shelf as the load applied to the clamping member increases as well as latching means for the lever clamp and the previously disclosed clamping bookend. A one-piece lever clamp is also disclosed. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Accordingly, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a clamp for firmly and reversibly attaching items such as sign holders, pencil sharpeners, trays, lamps and dispensers to shelves, desks, bookcases and the like at a selected location.
It is a more specific object of the invention to provide a clamp for firmly and reversibly attaching such items using a clamp with a lever or clamping member.
It is another object of the invention to provide latching means for the lever clamp and additional latches for the previously disclosed clamping bookend.
It is also a more specific object of the invention to provide a lever clamp having a body member containing a slot for receiving the shelf or similar object and a clamping member connected to a pencil sharpener, sign holder, or similar item, with such clamping member also being pivotally connected with the body member for movement between a lower disengaged position and a raised clamped position, whereby when the clamping member is pivoted from the lower disengaged position to the upright clamping position, the clamp is firmly fastened to the shelf or similar object.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a lever clamp having a lever or clamping member wherein the body member is formed in different embodiments as needed for firm and reversible attachment to different types of objects, especially wire shelves, metal shelves, desktops, and wooden shelves.
It is another object of the invention to provide a clamp having a clamping member wherein the body member can be formed in different embodiments as needed for clamping to objects oriented in different planes, e.
g.
, vertically and horizontally.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a lever clamp having a clamping member wherein the body member has a C-shaped configuration and includes a pair of generally parallel spaced leg portions and a connecting portion defining a slot which is adapted to receive the shelf, desktop, or the like.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a lever clamp wherein the body member has a L-shaped configuration, with the connecting member and one of the leg portions serving with the clamping member to define a slot which is adapted to receive the shelf or similar object
