DEFINITION

Classification: 72/351

With yieldable actuation of work gripper (e.g., spring biased blank holder):

(under subclass 350) Subject matter wherein the means for actuating said gripper comprises a force responsive (e.g., deformable, resilient, or slipping) element forming part of the force-transmitting train, such element serving to limit the force exerted on and by said gripper.
