.~ With means requiring a completion of travel of jaw movement
DEFINITION
Classification: 81/313
(under subclass 300) Tools including means requiring a full predetermined extent of jaw motion prior to restoring the jaw(s) to an original position.
(1) Note. The cycle of operation is such that manipulation of the handles relative to each other effects only unidirectional movement of the jaws (usually toward each other) and only after the limit of such unidirectional movement is reached can the direction of jaw movement be reversed.
(2) Note. Included here are devices known in the art as full-stroke compelling mechanisms.
(3) Note. See the definition of "RANGE" under subclass 300.
