   A vise or vice (British English) is a mechanical apparatus used to secure an object to allow work to be performed on it. Vises have two parallel jaws, one fixed and the other movable, threaded in and out by a screw and lever. The jaws are often flat but may have grooves, [1] adapt to the shape of the workpiece or be custom made. [2]

   Larger vises may have the movable jaw hinged at the base and do away with the distance pieces, see the illustration "Shaker broom vises". Illustrations on Haydenville (2015) show that there are two sets of jaws affixed to the planks. The lower set are level with the top of the planks and are circular when closed to firmly grip the head of the ...

5. Chuck (engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_(engineering)

   The clamping is often done with each pair of jaws consisting of one fixed jaw and one movable jaw (hydraulically actuated), thematically similar to advanced milling vises. This method of clamping brings the high precision and repeatability of such vises to a chucking application.

6. Locking pliers - Wikipedia

7. Buttress thread - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buttress_thread

   It is obvious on inspection that a buttress thread with perpendicular face, operating in a split nut, generates minimal disengagement force when tightened in the normally loaded direction, and thus it is possible to derive quick release devices to, for example, allow rapid repositioning of the movable jaw of a vise without having to rotate the ...
