To sign 'gear,' form both hands into open '5' handshapes with your fingers spread and slightly curved. Bring your hands together in front of your chest, interlocking your fingers to represent the teeth of two gears. Finally, rotate your hands slightly in opposite directions to mimic the movement of gears turning.
Sign 'clock', then sign 'gear' while keeping your movements smaller to indicate the delicate size of the gears inside.
Sign 'bicycle', then 'gear', and finish with the sign for 'stuck' to show that the mechanism is no longer turning.
Sign 'machine', 'stop', then use 'gear' followed by the sign for 'break' to explain the mechanical failure.

No, this sign specifically refers to mechanical gears or cogwheels. For 'camping gear' or sports gear, you would use signs like 'equipment' or 'things'.
Both signs use interlocked fingers. However, for 'machine,' the interlocked hands bounce up and down together. For 'gear,' the hands rotate against each other to show the cogs turning.
No, it doesn't matter which hand's fingers are slightly higher when they interlock. Just ensure your fingers are comfortably meshed together to represent the gear teeth.
