Abstract
A device for simultaneously compressing a row of resilient finger pairs on an article holding rack to facilitate placement and removal of articles. A pair of opposed, plate-like jaws are supported in the same horizontal plane by a pair of parallel, L-shaped side walls which are in turn supported by a support frame. One of the plate-like jaws is fixed and the other is moveable on a pair of bearing blocks, each of which travels on a horizontally positioned bearing way. Hand and foot actuators are provided for moving the moveable plate-like jaw adjacent to the fixed plate-like jaw to compress the finger pairs. The hand and foot actuators which are provided include a pair of counterbalanced dogleg lever arms which act on vertical plates fixedly attached to the under surface of the moveable plate-like jaw. The moveable jaw is first moved into position for compressing with the handle and then further moved to compress the finger pairs with the foot pedal.
