- Befefring to EigS. 1 and 2, if is. impofnt to nofe that the hand-br 7 iS So pivotod to the hanging arS 6 of the fook-jaW that while the bar Serves S the nleons fof oloSing the javv tho rII1s 8 Sefve alSo aS )I1Sh aI'nS or leverS for looking the jaW When olosed, and in thiS looking fonotion the pnSh a1 TnS are brought froIn a verfioal to a horizonta1 position With a pTeSSing or pnShing aotion ginSt Vforeover, S the aI'II1S 6 stnd down frotn the jaw and the uShrmS 8 sWing l1p in opening the jaw, nd aShoSe bvvo aTII1S are pivoted together below the vv, the leaSt preSSure OD the hand-bar 7 fo sWing it up oaoses bhe jW to be rooked on itS boltS and to open.

In produoing fhe beaded frough, the bead hving been fornled upon thoblank,fhe presthot the operotion of forning the bed and the tfoogh iS oontinuooS.
