Structure of mechanism |
| Function |
The vise-grips pliers keeps an object between the clamp without having to hold it tight.
The vise-grips allows the clamp with handrails to catch a piece due to human action. Then we can maintain all of the vise-grips in position by the locking system. We can maintain object thanks the action of the wheel.
The action on the under handrail will allow to move the rod to rotate relative to the frame and therefore allow for rotating the highter clamp.
The action of the helical wheel in conjunction with the highter handrail, will move the rod in translation with a "button" and therefore lead to translate handrail below will rotate the clamp above.
The under clamp is embedded with the highter handrail who acts as bati. This is the part that covers the mechanism. |
