The clamp (100) also comprises an manoeuvring member (30) connected to the body (10) and a plurality of connecting levers (40) having a first end that is articulated to the manoeuvring member (30) and a second end (40b) that is articulated to a corresponding slider (20) of the plurality of sliders (20) so that a movement of the manoeuvring member (30) corresponds to a movement of the sliders (20). The clamp (100) also comprises a locking device (50), movable between a locked position and an unlocked position, and a handgrip (60) integral with the manoeuvring member (30) and grippable by a user to directly move the manoeuvring member (30) about the central axis (X).
