Plain/Standard Assembly One Leaf Half Swaged Reverse Assembly One Leaf Full Swaged Three Leaf Plain Assembly
Neither leaf swaged. In the open position, leaves lay flat in the same plane. Leaves will close to a parallel position. One leaf swaged to half of the pin diameter. Leaves will close to a parallel position having a gap approximately one half of the pin diameter. Neither leaf swaged. With opposing leaves extending laterally from opposite sides of the pin. Leaves will not close to a parallel position. One leaf swaged to equal the pin diameter. Leaves will close to a parallel position having little or no gap. Neither leaf swaged. In the open position, leaves lay flat in the same plane.
Both Leaves Half Swaged Three Leaf Reverse Assembly Reverse Swaged Other Three Leaf Configs. Offset
Both leaves swaged approximately half the pin diameter. Leaves will close to a parallel position having little or no gap. Neither leaf swaged. With opposing leaves extending laterally from opposite sides of the pin. One leaf swaged to the opposite side of the pin to simulate reverse assembly. Leaves will not close to a parallel position. Alternate three leaf configurations. Forming one of both leaves away from the center of the pin. When both leaves are offset and in a closed and parallel position, the dimension between the leaves will be greater than the pin diameter.
