Shoe 1 is connected by turning pair B to lever 4 which turns about fixed axis A. When strip 3 starts to move downward, shoe 1 is jammed between lever 4 and the strip which is thereby clamped. Upward motion of strip 3 releases shoe 1 and turns lever 4 clockwise. Weight 2 facilitates the unclamping of the mechanism.
