THERE ARE SHOULDERS ON EACH OF THE END PARTS ENGAGEABLE WITH NOTCHES ON THE SIDE PARTS BY MEANS OF WHICH EACH END PART WHEN DISPOSED ACROSS THE ENDS OF THE SIDE PARTS IS ADAPTED TO HOLD THE SIDE PARTS CLAMPED TOGETHER, WHILE THE OTHER END PART IS DISPOSED IN A LATERAL, INOPERATIVE POSITION. THERE IS A CYLINDER AND PISTON ASSEMBLY INCLUDING A PISTON ROD OPERABLY CONNECTED TO THE SIDE PARTS TO MOVE THEM TOWARD AND AWAY FROM EACH OTHER AND CYLINDER AND PISTON ASSEMBLIES INCLUDING RODS CONNECTING THE SIDE AND END PARTS FOR MOVING THE END PARTS INTO AND OUT OF ENGAGEMENT WITH THE SIDE PARTS. ADDITIONALLY, THERE ARE AUXILIARY LOCKING MEANS COMPISING AT EACH SIDE A LINK PIVOTALLY CONNECTED TO THE END OF THE PISTON ROD AT THAT SIDE AND A LATCH PLATE PIVOTALLY CONNECTED TO THE SIDE PART HAVING A NOTCH AT ONE END ADAPTED TO ENGAGE THE PIVOT CONNECTING THE LINK TO THE PISTON ROD BY EXTENSION OF THE LATTER TO MOVE THE ADJACENT ENDS OF THE LEVER AND LATCH PLATE BEYOND THE LINE OF CENTERS OF THESE PIVOTS TO A LOCKING POSITION WHEREUPON THE CYCLINDER MAY BE EXHAUSTED WITHOUT UNLOCKING THE PARTS.
