(under subclass 287) Subject matter including a movable member which supports either or both the work and a gripper (a nondeforming work-gripping clamp), and including additional means which interconnects and may move said movable member and said work or said gripper.
(1) Note. Engagement of the gripper(s) with the work may start the additional means, movement of the carrier may cause the gripper to engage or disengage the work, cessation of movement of the carrier may cause the gripper to engage or
disengage the work, or any combination of the above may characterize the device.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
422, for a combination that does not claim the gripper and moving means in combination with a closed periphery die.
