German term or phrase: Gestängeschere
I am posting this question again as I now have a description from the client. I'll also update the question from last week.

I am translating a list of material names/ component names for master data. The document is for a company that specialises in vehicle bodies.
One entry is

"KTL-Beschichtung Gestängeschere"

KTL = cataphoretic painting

The client has provided this description of Gestängeschere
"vom ZB Verdeckgestell der seitliche Zusammenbau aus diversen Gestängeteilen"

TIA

agree  Ken Cox: or scissorwork linkage mechanism. I was musing along this line with the previous question, but the context was too meagre. Pity it isn't called a Scherengestänge.

Explanation:
OK, low confidence here, but when I worked for the railroad, this is what they used to get the power from overhead lines. If you can get a picture, this might help.

It is also used to enlarge drawings by copying.
