Name of specific piece of hardware
(OP)
I am looking for the name of a specific piece of hardware that I need. What i need is a device that will fully compress when hit from the positive x direction, and then pop back up to hold in place in the negative x direction. What is happening, is an arm is sliding in under a product and needs to lock the product in place and then pull the product back with it. I have seent hese devices before, they are commonly simple spring loaded things, though i cannot find anything remotely similar from any vendor. Any help would be appreciated.

The front stops on a sheet metal power shear work in the manner you describe.
They have a pivot with an unbalanced arm. When the sheet slides across it, the stop retracts. As soon as the sheet clears, the stop pops up and the sheet can be pulled back to gauge against the stop.
Manufacturers are Cincinnati, Roper Whitney, Accushear, to name a few.

To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
