Szorító

Szorító is a Hungarian term that translates to "squeezer" or "clamp" in English. It generally refers to a device used to apply pressure to hold objects together or to compress materials. The specific design and application of a szorító can vary widely depending on its intended use.

In woodworking and metalworking, a szorító is commonly used as a clamp to secure pieces of material while they are being glued, cut, or assembled. These can range from simple C-clamps to more complex bar clamps or pipe clamps, each designed for different sizes and shapes of workpieces. The primary function is to maintain rigidity and prevent movement during the process.

Beyond industrial applications, the term szorító can also be used in a more general sense to describe any mechanism that exerts a squeezing force. This might include tools used in crafts, such as for pressing clay or fabric, or even certain types of surgical instruments designed to hold tissues. The underlying principle remains the application of compressive force to achieve a desired outcome, whether it is holding, compressing, or shaping. The term's versatility allows it to encompass a broad range of tools and devices that share the common characteristic of applying pressure.
