The term defines a structural feature since structures that are integrally-formed are structurally different than structures that are comprised of subcomponents formed separately and then subsequently joined. “Integral” means consisting or composed of parts that together constitute a whole and thus encompasses structures of more than one part wherein the parts are either integrally-formed or formed separately and then subsequently joined.

  • FIG. 4 shows an alternative second link in phantom that is longer than the links 38 , 40 .
  • Choosing different length allows the pivot angle over which the grinding tool 14 travels during sharpening to change. For example, the greater the distance between the tool-seat 36 and the axis 56 , the shorter the pivot angle required over which to move the grinding tool 14 .
  • choosing different lengths for the links 38 , 40 can allow the jig assembly 10 to more evenly fill product packaging. For example, when the assembly 10 is stored, the link 38 can be positioned to extend toward the end 22 and the link 40 can be sized to extend fully to the end 24 .
