A novel clamping device for use in conjunction with a temporary partition system is provided. The present invention is a telescoping pole system having a unique clamping end that retains a sheet of plastic or other sheeting material for the establishment of temporary partitions such as the type typically used in connection with dust control. The principal elements of the system include an adjustable, telescoping pole, a clamping end with a mechanism thereon for retaining sheeting material and the sheeting material itself. In conjunction, the elements of the system are installed in the desired location between supporting structure to provide a temporary partition as necessary.

What is claimed: 1. A temporary partition system comprising: at least one extendable support member having a top end and a bottom end said extendable support member configured for placement in a position between top and bottom structural members with its top end in contact with said top structural
What is claimed: 1. A temporary partition system comprising: at least one extendable support member having a top end and a bottom end said extendable support member configured for placement in a position between top and bottom structural members with its top end in contact with said top structural member and said bottom end in contact with said bottom structural member; at least one clamping assembly configured to be received and retained on said top end of said extendable support member, said clamping assembly including: a body portion; a clamping arm pivotally mounted to said body portion; and an actuator, said actuator including a cam portion and a handle attached to said cam portion, said cam portion of said actuator having a curved camming surface and being pivotally attached to said clamping assembly, wherein movement of said handle causes said cam portion to rotate, said curved camming surface urging said clamping arm from a first open position to a second closed position wherein said clamping arm is retained against said body portion by said actuator; and sheeting material having a top edge and a bottom edge, said top edge being received and retained by said clamping assembly, whereby said sheeting material is supported adjacent said top structural member and extends to said bottom structural member, said sheeting material being repositionable within said clamping assembly without removing said extendable support member from between said top and bottom structural members. 2. The temporary partition system of claim 1, further comprising: at least two extendable support members each having a clamping assembly on said top ends thereof, said support members being placed in spaced relation to one another in a position between top and bottom structural members with their top ends in contact with said top structural member and said bottom ends in contact with said bottom structural member, said top edge of said sheeting material being received and retained in each of said clamping assemblies whereby said sheeting material extends between and is supported adjacent said top structural member and extends to said bottom structural member. 3. The temporary partition system of claim 1, wherein said temporary sheeting material is selected from the group consisting of: fabric, plastic and canvas. 4. The temporary partition system of claim 1, wherein said extendable support includes a top section, a bottom section and an overall length, wherein said top section and bottom section are configured for interfitting engagement such that said top section and said bottom section can be selectively positioned relative to one another thereby changing said overall length. 5. The temporary partition system of claim 4, wherein said top section and said bottom section of said extendable support are spring biased relative to one another. 6. The temporary partition system of claim 1, wherein said clamping assembly is spring biased relative to said top end of said extendable support member. 7. The temporary partition system of claim 1, further comprising: a second clamping assembly configured to be received and retained on said bottom end of said extendable support member, said bottom edge of said sheeting material being received and retained by said second clamping member. 8. The temporary partition system of claim 1, further comprising: a linkage extending from said clamping arm, said clamping arm being pivotally mounted adjacent a first side of said body portion, wherein said linkage extends past said body portion to a second side of said body portion opposite said first side. wherein said actuator is pivotally attached to said linkage such that rotation of said actuator causes said curved camming surface to exert a force upon said second side of said body portion and said linkage, said linkage thereby urging said clamping arm against said body portion. 9. The temporary partition system of claim 1, wherein said actuator is pivotally attached to said body portion and said clamping arm is disposed between said actuator and said body portion such that rotation of said actuator causes said curved camming surface to exert a force upon an outer face of said clamping arm, thereby urging said clamping arm against said body portion. 10. The temporary partition system of claim 9, further comprising: at least one mounting member having a first end attached to said body portion and a second end extending beyond said clamping arm, said actuator being pivotally attached to said second end of said mounting member. 11. The temporary partition system of claim 10, wherein said mounting member extends adjacent at least one side of said clamping arm. 12. The temporary partition system of claim 10, wherein said mounting member extends through an opening provided in said clamping arm. 13. A clamping member for use in conjunction with a temporary partition system comprising: a body portion having a first end configured to be received and retained on an extendable support member; a clamping arm pivotally mounted to said body portion; and an actuator, said actuator including a cam portion and a handle attached to said cam portion, said cam portion of said actuator having a curved camming surface and pivotally attached to said clamping assembly, wherein movement of said handle causes said cam portion to rotate, said curved camming surface urging said clamping arm from a first open position to a second closed position wherein said clamping arm is retained against said body portion by said actuator. 14. The clamping member of claim 13, further comprising: a linkage extending from said clamping arm, said clamping arm being pivotally mounted adjacent a first side of said body portion, wherein said linkage extends past said body portion to a second side of said body portion opposite said first side. wherein said actuator is pivotally attached to said linkage such that rotation of said actuator causes said curved camming surface to exert a force upon said second side of said body portion and said linkage, said linkage thereby urging said clamping arm against said body portion. 15. The clamping member of claim 13, wherein said actuator is pivotally attached to said body portion and said clamping arm is disposed between said actuator and said body portion such that rotation of said actuator causes said curved camming surface to exert a force upon an outer face of said clamping arm, thereby urging said clamping arm against said body portion. 16. The clamping member of claim 15, further comprising: at least one mounting member having a first end attached to said body portion and a second end extending beyond said clamping arm, said actuator being pivotally attached to said second end of said mounting member. 17. The clamping member of claim 16, wherein said mounting member extends adjacent at least one side of said clamping arm. 18. The clamping member of claim 16, wherein said mounting member extends through an opening provided in said clamping arm.
