The opposite end of the other arm is pivotly connected to the upstanding lever intermediate the ends thereof. A hydraulic actuator for the upstanding lever comprises a cylinder having one end closed and the opposite end open, the closed end being pivotly connected to the pivotly connected ends of the toggle arms. A piston is reciprocally mounted in the cylinder and has a piston rod extending outwardly of the open end of the cylinder, the free end of the piston rod being pivotly connected to the frame on the same pivot pin pivotly connecting the lower end of the lever to the frame. On the side of the upstanding lever, opposite the toggle mechanism, a bar is welded or otherwise suitably secured to the lever and provided with a series of longitudinally spaced holes for reception of a pin for pivotly connecting a yoke to said bar at various positions along said bar. The side of the lever opposite the bar, is provided with a socket for reception of an end of a holding bar. At the lever end of the frame is a part for reception of a second holding bar and at the toggle end of the frame, there is means for anchoring the apparatus to a floor or platform or the like.
