Abstract
An apparatus (100), including: a holder (102) configured to hold a rod, wherein the holder is configured to tilt about a pivot joint (120); and a pinching element (122) held in a fixed position relative to the holder and comprising a contact surface (124), in A distance (D1) between the contact surface and an interior surface (108) of the holder opposite the contact surface decreases as the holder tilts about the pivot joint toward a pinching configuration.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a holder configured to hold a rod, wherein the holder is configured to tilt about a pivot joint;
- and
- a pinching element held in a fixed position relative to the holder and comprising a contact surface;
- wherein a distance between the contact surface and an interior surface of the holder opposite the contact surface decreases as the holder tilts about the pivot joint toward a pinched configuration.
1 more element
An apparatus, comprising:
- a holder configured to receive an end of a rod therein and to tilt between an unpinched configuration when upright and a pinched configuration when tilted;
- and
- a pinching element held fixed relative to the holder, wherein when moved toward the pinched configuration an interior surface of the holder approaches the pinching element;
- wherein in the pinched configuration a contact surface of the pinching element is configured to pinch the rod between the pinching element and the interior surface.
1 more element
An apparatus, comprising:
- a holder configured to hold a rod, wherein the holder is configured to tilt about a pivot joint;
- and
- a pinching element held in a fixed position relative to the holder and configured to progressively occlude the holder as the holder tilts;
- wherein when the rod is disposed in the holder and upon reaching a sufficient amount of tilt of the holder the pinching element occludes the holder enough to pinch the rod between the pinching element and the holder in a pinched configuration.
