    The document provides instructions for assembling a toggle press mechanism using SolidWorks. It lists the required parts which include a handle, links, bases, pins and supports. The user is directed to fix the base of the press to a reference point or plane to prevent unnecessary translation when the handle is rotated, and then mate the remaining parts so the upper base presses toward the lower base when the handle is rotated downward, functioning as a four bar mechanism.

    Toggle Press Tutorial Last updated September 2008 Allen Umali Objective: Using SolidWorks, assemble the toggle press as shown. The assembly functions as a four bar mechanism, where the upper base part presses towards the lower base as the toggle handle is rotated downward. Part List and Quantity: Extract the press parts from the togglepress1.zip folder. The assembly will require one of each piece and 3 pins. Part handle.SLDPRT link1.SLDPRT link2.SLDPRT lowerbase.SLDPRT pin2.SLDPRT upperbase.SLDPRT Verticalsupport.SLDPRT Quantity 1 1 1 1 3 1 1

    Directions: The base of the toggle press must be fixed to a reference (i.e. point/plane). This is to ensure that full assembly does not translate unnecessarily when the toggle handle is rotated. This will require a couple mates between the base piece and the coordinate planes and/or origin. Alternatively, the base part can be fixed in an arbitrary location. Mate all the other parts so that the final assembly functions as shown; where the output motion (upper base) is a response to the input motion (handle rotation).
