Abstract

A three-way spring clamp (102) is provided that is useable as an edge clamp for applying clamping forces to workpieces in three directions. The clamp includes two lever arms (32), each having a jaw end (38) and a handle end (36). The lever arms (32) are pivotally connected to each other at a pivot point (34) located between the jaw ends (38) and the handle ends (36). A coil spring (44) is provided for biasing the lever arms (32) toward a closed gripping position. A spring engagement member (102) is mounted between the lever arms and is engageable with a surface of an article to be clamped. The engagement member (102) provides spring pressure in a direction generally perpendicular to the direction of clamping forces applied by the jaws of the clamp, making the clamp useful as a three-way edge clamp.
