Scissor mechanism
The locking ring is opened and closed by the scissor mechanism and,
when closed, is securely kept in place by a locking shoe.
The scissor mechanism (and thus the locking ring and locking shoe
safeguard) is closed by two opposing pneumatic cylinders (see Fig. 9:
unterhalb).
The pneumatic system of the scissor mechanism is fitted to a plate so that
the entire assembly can be fitted and removed as a single component (see
“Replacing the scissor mechanism”).
