  • Publication number: 20130181176
    Abstract: A scissor mechanism comprises a pair of opposed jaws. The opposed jaws are defined at one end of a rigid member. At least one rigid member is pivotably engaged to a base plate. The base plate is capable of being coupled to a mobilization structure that is capable of being rolled on the ground. For example, the mobilization structure may comprise a jack or a bolt that is capable of raising and lowering the base plate. The jaws provide a strong grip on a portion of the shelving either under the influence of a strong biasing mechanism or by using a lever action to force one or more of the jaws closed onto the portion of the shelving. A bump stop may be adjusted to impinge on another portion of the shelving, which may prevent the shelving from tipping or sliding within the pair of jaws.
