Toggle Joint
Toggle Joint : A system comprising two levers, hinged together. The outer end of one lever is pivoted on a fixed pin, the outer end of the other lever is pivoted to a slider arranged to slide towards/away from the fixed pivot. if the two levers start at an angle to each other, a force tending to bring them in line applied at their hinge will force the slider to move away from the fixed pivot, and when nearly in line, a small sideways force will cause a large outwards force on the slider
