ABSTRACT:
An improved toggle assembly for use in a band-type clamping closure assembly such as provided on a textile kier or like pressure vessel for securing a lid or cover in place during operation. The toggle assembly includes a first pair of lugs affixed to one end of the clamping band in laterally spaced facing relation and a second pair of lugs affixed to the other band end in laterally spaced facing relation. A toggle body has a pair of laterally spaced arm portions each pivotably affixed to a respective one of the first lugs and a handle portion extending outwardly from the arm portions. An actuating link is affixed pivotably at one end to each of the arm portions of the toggle body intermediately of the handle portion and the location at which the arm portions are pivoted to the first lugs and is affixed pivotably at the opposite end to each of the second lugs. Pivotal movement of the toggle body with respect to the first lugs actuates translatory movement of the actuating link for selective clamping and unclamping movement of the band ends toward and away from one another.
