摘要： A work bench comprises a pair of opposed clamping jaws for holding a workpiece. The jaws are mounted on support legs which are pivotally interconnected in such a manner that the jaws automatically displace one towards the other into a clamping position under a downwards force which can be provided by the self-weight of the device itself and/or by the weight of the workpiece and/or by downwards force applied by the user. A vice has a movable jaw mounted on a slide assembly which can be slid rapidly towards a clamping position to be releasably locked therein by a ratchet and pawl device. Final clamping adjustment of the movable jaw is effected by a screw mechanism. The slide assembly has two laterally-spaced rails which project into a fixed body of the vice. The space between the two rails is unobstructed to permit passage of a vertical workpiece centrally between the jaws.
