DEFINITION
Classification: 226/73
(under subclass 62) Device provided with a stationary rod, in which device the prong is integral with, or fixed to, a slotted member having a compound movement combining both (1) a reciprocation along the slot radially of said rod and (2) oscillation about the rod.
(1) Note. The claw member of this subclass (73) is similar to that of subclass 72 and usually the motion is similar. The basic difference between the patents of the subclasses, lies in the joint between the claw member and the fixed stud or axis. In patents placed in this subclass (73) a slotted claw member slides directly on the fixed stud as the member oscillates about the stud. In some patents placed in subclass 72 a pivotable block is interposed between a slotted claw member and the fixed axis or stud; the slot of the claw member slides on the block, and the block oscillates about the axis.
