What does CLEVIS mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A U-shaped metal fitting with a pin through its ends, used to join a rod or chain to another part.
A clevis is the little fork you see where a plow, trailer or hydraulic cylinder connects to something that has to pivot. The pin slides through holes in both arms of the U and through the part being held, so it can swing but not slip free. Farmers and mechanics treat the clevis as a basic bit of hardware, and it is often sold together with its pin.
