The present invention relates generally to a weighted downrigger for troll fishing, and more particularly to a vertical stabilizing fin with a line holding clamp pressure single leverage clamp The downrigger has a forward and rearward jaw body 42, 43 interconnected by adjustment stud 44 which extends structurally in communication with the fin and a spaced distance therebeyond. The upper rearward portion of the fin defines a clamp notch 29 which has a lower edge 30 defined substantially parallel to the axis of the downrigger and a forward edge 31 which is defined in an angulated fashion with an upward and rearward slope.

Toggle clamps are a type of mechanically operated locking systems that function according to the toggle lever principle pressure single leverage clamp The large motion of the operating lever is translated into a small motion of the clamping arm, which overcomes the lever dead center and causes the clamp to lock securely in place. The force asserted on the workpiece by the jaws of a toggle clamp is very high, and it depends on the size of the clamping arm and the position of the movable jaw relative to the stationary jaw.

Previously, some toggle clamps allowed the user to adjust the force required to cause the clamp to release. However, these prior clamps did not allow the user to regulate the mechanical advantage of this leverage. In addition, the drag on a fishing line extending between fishing line support and the clamp was so great that it negated any adjustment of the lever arm to magnify the force needed to cause clamp release.

To overcome the disadvantages of prior art toggle clamps, the present invention provides a mechanically adjustable and selectively interchangeable line clamp having jaws adjustably biased toward each other. The line clamp further has a line arm releasably interconnected thereto so that the force on a fishing line portion carried by the line arm is magnified to cause the clamp to release.

The line clamp is designed to hold the ETT while preventing air leaks. It also allows for the insertion and removal of the ETT in a patient with a difficult airway. The line clamp was tested in comparison to a plastic and metal ETT clamp with the same clinical protocol. Airway pressure and flow were measured in both nasal and oral modes before and after clamping.

The ring clamp assembly 21 has first and second feet 23, 25 at a free end of the split ring member 22. The first foot 23 is positioned against the matrix 27 when the ring 22 and matrix are pre-assembled outside of a patient's mouth. The second foot 25 is then inserted into the molars to position the ring and matrix against the restoration tooth 29 for Class II restoration. Once inserted, the ring is spread open by a tool held by a dentist. This eliminates a torque or bending force that can be exerted on the matrix as it is inserted and removed.
