Thank you guys. It is called a "Ratchet mechanism". The crimp-tool hint gave me inspiration for search direction. Now, the chime mechanism might be the way to go for finding the right mechanism.

More hints (and links) still welcome. -- Greetings Bertho (disclaimers are disclaimed) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
