(under subclass 246) Device including a shell or channel member, generally coextensive with and surrounding the screw, which member moving with the screw serves as a slide or rail to determine the path of relative jaw movement.
(1) Note. In most instances the member is so configured as to limit jaw movement to translation.
(2) Note. In the illustration below slide 1 moving with the screw 4 serves as a guide for movement of the jaw coacting with jaw 2. [figure]
