Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering | | German term or phrase: abragen/abragt | from A German Patent
" The invention relates to a tool for holding down and/or tightening objects by means of a movable tightening part e.g. a screw clamp, which is intended to provisionally hold plates or suchlike firm.
'
Unlike rapid or ordinary screw clamps, the invention "will enable any objects to be stretched against surfaces or other elements which the tool cannot embrace."
In one futuristic execution example, " the holding element is a plate which can be fixed to the counter bearing , for example by a screw . The plate features a bearing sleeve, "die auf der der Gegenspannlagerflaeche abragt und in ein Lagerzappfen des beweglichen Spannteils 1 einsetzbar ist." |

ragen - to protrude
*ab*ragen - to protrude *downwards*
I think that in a technical context the term "protrude(s) downwards" (rather than loom(s)) is equivalent to "abragt."
