![[Challenge Solved] Weird assembly — I think this will be a hard one :)](https://i.imgur.com/68pVqrW.jpeg){kind=link}
Some light hints that may point you in the right direction:
Hint 1
The assembly is a part of a larger machine.
Hint 2
Several assemblies are meant to move side by side in unison.
Hint 3
The square-ish shaped piece is plastic that will wear down and be replaced.
Looks like a gear ratchet. Slope on the left piece allows a gear to rotate in one direction. Clamp on a bar on the right allows the assembly to be lifted to allow the gear to rotate in the other direction as well. Like a sort of gear brake?
Not quite. The assembly moves around for other reasons.
