.~.~ Continuously moving drive means (e.g., "gag") {1}
573
.~.~.~ Hand actuated connecting means
DEFINITION
Classification: 83/573
(under subclass 572) Apparatus wherein the force required for connecting or disconnecting the tool is supplied solely by a human operator.
(1) Note. The operator may act upon the gag through a linkage or other mechanical force modifier which introduces no other source of power. If, however, the claimed subject matter requires that the operator merely actuates a switch or clutch to connect some other source of power with the gag-moving means, the patent is not placed in this subclass, but in subclass 572.
