Eccentric-clamp

An arrangement for lifting finished stonework, which might be made useful in the foundry for lifting cores of some descriptions, and thus obviate the necessity for hooks and staples. The weight of the object turns eccentrics, which bind rubber-faced plates firmly against the sides. The width is adjusted by turn-buckles at the sides.
