DEFINITION

Classification: 269/112

(under subclass 111) Device including at least one actuating* means that is positioned adjacent one corner; and, (1) said means is not perpendicularly related to either of the two sides that meet at said corner, and (2) a line, formed by tracing a point on the actuated jaw as it moves toward the work, falls within the angle formed either (a) by the corner or (b) by imaginary lines forming extensions of the two sides intersecting at said corner.

(1) Note. Most of the patents placed in this subclass disclose actuating means that move the jaw on a path that is generally aligned with or closely parallel to either (a) a diagonal of the frame or (b) the bisector of a corner.

(2) Note. Patents placed in this subclass include frames wherein the frame, at one corner, is positioned to be coincident with one quadrant, and adjacent said corner, the actuated jaw(s) moves either; (a) within the confines of the frame quadrant, (b) within the confines of the opposed quadrant, or (c) both (a) and (b) type movement.

(3) Note. See (6) Note under subclass 111.

(4) Note. In the figure below, the portion shown in section represents the work, and the lines J1 through J6 represent the movement of a point on an actuated jaw(s) toward a gripping position. [figure]
