Press board as seen in "热压板" (hot press machine) or 靴压板 (shoe/boot press board) Usage as a see-saw is pretty rare, used specifically by manufacturers, and generally they are spring-based and not fulcrum-supported devices. << review queue entry 34895 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> ABC says ya1, but all other sources I checked agree with ya4 It's spelled "seesaw" in Encarta Don't need the indefinite article in the definition It seems the more usual word for seesaw is 跷跷板 and google images tends to confirm that However, it's hard to find a seesaw in google images @ 压板 It really seems to be a board used to apply pressure -- as the hanzi would suggest This pressure can be magnified by using the lever principle, with a pivot point -- hence the similarity to a seesaw |
