DEFINITION

Classification: 81/368

(under subclass 367) Tools in which a force is applied to the intermediate pivot for moving said pivot to or slightly beyond a straight line passing through the other or outer pivots, thus serving to stabilize the toggle linkage into a

locked condition, and including means to alter the stable relationship of the pivots and/or links thus unlocking the toggle linkage.

(1) Note. Tools in this and indented subclasses are usually of the type classified in this class, subclasses 378+, but include a toggle release means.
