Product Decomposition

Design Organization: Example for The Mechanical Design Process

Date: Aug 14 2007

Product Decomposed:: Irwin Quick Grip – pre 2007

Description This is the Quick-Grip Product that has been on the market for many years

How it works: Squeeze the pistol grip repeatedly to move the jaws closer together and increase the clamping force. Squeeze the release trigger to release the clamping force. The foot (the part on the left in the picture that holds the face that is clamped against) is reversible so the clamping force can be made to push apart rather than squeeze together.
