(under subclass 152) Apparatus combined with a lock or brake operable at least one point between the limits of a complete forward movement stroke to inhibit or prevent the tool from moving forward.
(1) Note. The lock or brake may be operable while the motor is causing or controlling forward movement, or may only operate while the motor is stopped or disconnected.
(2) Note. The "complete forward movement stroke" is the
distance that the tool may move forward without stopping or altering the operation of the forward movement causing or controlling means, therefore, structure which functions to lock or brake forward movement at merely the beginning or end of such a stroke is not classified under this definition.
