Name for this part/mechanism?
(OP)
I am referring to the gear-like circular faces that interlock when forced together and allow rotation when unlocked on these arms. I want to design one, but I can't seem to find out what its called.

Any advice as to how to make these out of metal in a basic machine shop is also welcome.
Thanks!

In the future, are there any tips or resources for how I might go about figuring that out without asking the forum?
Cheers.
