Decode notes

  • Composi-Lok II grips: "incremental 0.050\" grip lengths" (MBF2003 §2.1); the grip dash is the max grip, e.g. -300 covers .250-.300" (MBF2110/2112/2113 drawings, grip table).
  • Diameter dash per the drawing's basic-dimensions table (e.g. -6 = 3/16").
  • Suffix "A" "designates dual drive nut system for robotic installation" (MBF2112 drawing note 1); MBF2003's installation tooling "not applicable to Composi-Lok II which have an 'A' suffix" (MBF2003 §1.1).

Key (how to read these diagrams)

Manufacturer figure: Monogram MBF2003 Rev AG (Composi-Lok II install spec), p.18, Figure 15, Description of Installation ↗Patent US 4,457,652, Figs. 7-10 ↗: Monogram's US 10,267,347 states the original Composi-Lok is described in US 4,457,652. It shows the original Composi-Lok (no drive-nut), not the Composi-Lok II drawn here, so it is linked for the mechanism only.Schematic cross-section at the source figure's proportions, not to scale.
