| Description: |  | The patent is for the "V" shaped jaw opening  together with the teeth-bearing side plates.  The specifications claim the  spread teeth are less likely to jam or fill with dirt than teeth running the full width of the jaw, and the side plates can be replaced if worn or broken. |  |
