摘要

148. Steward, J. H. Jan. 4. Gripping-devices.-Hand gripping-appliances are provided with means for ascertaining the strength of the user. A frame a of mild steel is provided with a scale b. A link i pivoted on the lug e is acted on by a link f to move the pointer h over the scale. The pointer preferably makes frictional contact with the scale, so that when the grip is released the pointer remains. In a modification, one of the handles k is bent back upon itself and the pointer is bifurcated so as to be read from both sides.
