(under subclass 409.01) Subject matter wherein said power transmitting linkage includes two elongate members and a pivotal joint connecting said elongate members together such that a force applied to said joint is converted to a force tending to change the angle of separation of said elongate members.
(1) Note. As the angle of separation of the members moves toward 180 degrees the overall dimension of the linkage approaches a maximum. As the angle of separation between said members increases past 180 degrees the linkage is referred to as "locked".
