The toggle assembly comprises a “U”-shaped body, two support links that are rotatably connected to the free ends of opposite free ends of the toggle assembly body portion that engages the ends of the links, and a cam follower rotatably supported by the pin. The cam follower is engaged with the restraint cam to thereby put the restraint cam in a controlled restraint position between the cam follower and a counterpart cam follower roll that is fixed to the operating member. The toggle assembly permits the anti-loading structure can be reduced in size, still permitting the setting of an increased permissible load.
