1. A clamping apparatus for clamping at least one object, the clamping apparatus comprising:
at least one rail having a channel;
at least one stopper; and
at least one dual-cam device, each dual-cam device comprising:
a jaw;
a body;
a member connecting the jaw and the body wherein the member has a member-base configured to slide within the channel; and
a lever pivotally connected to said member, wherein the lever has a first cam and a second cam and wherein the lever is configured to be tilted,
wherein during tilting the lever from an open position in which the dual cam device slides along the rail to a clamp position in which the object is clamped, the first cam causes the dual cam device to secure emplacement position of the dual cam device to the rail and then the second cam causes the dual cam device to press and clamp the object by the jaw against the stopper.
