Some of those creatures look familiar don't they

Yes they do and some are quite ingenious and complex. That Locking vise with slide member although a complex and likely an expensive build seems very versatile. The fairly complex, 3 jaw conical lock/release (fig. 7) for the slider is well done and could be adapted to other systems. Adding the optional multiple lobe cams is also a cool idea, imho.

So Doug, do any strike your fancy for a "Next gen Doug build"?

There is a beauty and simplicity to Patent drawings that lights my candle! Also forgot to Thank Jon for all the links in my previous post.
