In a patent relating to a rechargeable battery pack for a cordless electrical tool: Mit dem zumindest einen translatorisch geführten Betätigungs mittel wird die Bauhöhe nur geringfügig grösser als bei einem bekannten Schwenk- und Biegemechanismus. Gleichzeitig können gegenüber den Schwenk- und Biegemechanismen grössere Bewegungen der Betätigungsmittel geschaffen wereden, damit auch schwerere Batteriepackungent ausreichend gesichert werden können.

Thanks very much!

Explanation:
"Schwenk- ODER Biege-..." - i.e.

swivel/bend solution

meaning either of these, depending on the specific design/materials used (in terms of operating principle both are identical).

Came to mind after I posted my comment above... sorry.
