Class Information
Number: 72/316
Name: Metal deforming > By use of non-deforming work-gripping clamp and relatively movable clamp, tool or work-forcer > Clamp structure constitutes sole initial metal-deforming force-reaction means (i.e., is passive tool)
Description: Subject matter wherein said opposed solid jaws or surface elements, together with any integral or rigid extensions thereof, are designed and intended to furnish the entire resistance to movement or deformation of work when the latter is subjected to forcible engagement by the coacting relatively movable instrumentality, at least during the earlier portion of an operation of the class type.
