Description: |
|
Another head-locking patent, but with a decidedly different
twist. This piece uses something that looks like a skate key to
hold the head. Where the key bears against the arm it is ground
off-center, such that a small 1/8 twist will be enough to lock
the arm securely.
This is a great idea-- the mechanism is simple to make, and holds
securely with a minumum of fuss.
