Abstract:
The present invention features a clamping apparatus and a method for clamping a frame, such as a face frame. The apparatus comprises a framework and a clamping assembly. The framework is capable of receiving a face frame and providing the necessary support to the frame during its assembly, while the clamping assembly is used to secure the joints of the frame in place while being permanently joined. The clamping assembly comprises a stabilizer coupled to the framework, but offset a distance so as to leave a gap or space between the framework and the stabilizer, and at least one adjustable clamping arm removably inserted within the gap or space between the framework and the stabilizer. The clamping assembly also comprises a force applicator, coupled to the adjustable clamping arm, that serves to contact the joint of a face frame and clamp the frame within the clamping apparatus. The adjustable clamping arm, and corresponding force applicator coupled thereto, is capable of moving side to side or up and down within the gap in order to reach variously positioned joints on the face frame.
