It looks as though the pivoted section gets in the way of the
other, so there is no way to swing them past perhaps maybe a 90
degree swing.
Given the orientation of the printing, it was designed to slip
down over the edge of a board or something similar and clamp on
it with the bent arms as the edge pressed on the straight arms. (clip)
Don, what you are seeing as a rack or ratchet is actually just a serrated
edge, which seems to be intended to hold it in a set position after it
slides along the slot and is tightened.
You seem to have the actionof the two levers figured out. As I see it, a
flat board or plate of some sort enters and presses on the levers, closing
them, holding the plate or board vertical and centered. Now, help me figure
out where and how this would have been used.
