Fastening Mechanism Using a Rocker

A board is slid on the table under a rocker mounted on a table. The end of the board lifts the inside arm of the rocker, forcing the other end down to clamp the board. This is a way of fastening a board on a table.


In physics, such a rocker is considered a first-class lever. For further information see the Wikipedia entry.
