With camming or wedging element for moving members:

(under subclass 454) Gripping means including either a rotatable camming or a shiftable wedging element having a surface which slides against and moves a cooperating surface on or attached to at least one of the members when a rotating or shifting force is applied to the element, the relative orientation or contour of one of the surfaces causing the movement transmitted to the member by the element to be in a direction other than that of the element.
