The base 15 has essentially the form of a hollow hemisphere, whose opening points upwards and whose in the 5 vertical axis of symmetry a pivot axis S for the first jaw 21 and the second claw 22 forms around this rotatable with the pedestal 15 are connected. The base 15 , the coil spring 25 , the inner ring 26 , the clamping block 28 , the circlips 29 , the cover plate 30 and the rubber washer 31 are arranged coaxially on the pivot axis S. The coil spring 25 supports with its lower end on the inner bottom surface of the base 15 and with its upper end on the terminal block 28 which is rotatable in the axial opening of the inner ring 26 sits, and thus spans it upwards.

In this first embodiment of the gripper 12 are an elongated first connecting section 33 and an elongate second connecting portion 34 intended. The first connection section 33 connects the first claw 21 rigid with the second claw 22 , is rotatable about the pivot axis S with the base 15 connected and intersects the pivot axis S substantially at right angles. Thus, the first claw 21 and the second claw 22 about the pivot axis S rotatable with the base 15 connected. The second connection section 34 connects the third claw 23 rigid with the fourth claw 24 , is rigid with the pedestal 15 connected and intersects the pivot axis S substantially at right angles. Thus, the third claw 23 and the fourth claw 24 rigid with the pedestal 15 connected. The two connecting sections 33 . 34 are arranged crosswise to each other and have in their upper side grooves, in which the retaining rings 29 lie one above the other. This will be the first connection section 33 centered to the pivot axis S held.

Because the first claw 21 and second claw 22 rigid with the first connecting section 33 are connected, the first ends also engage the first claw 21 and the second claw 22 and tighten the circlips 29 the first claw 21 in the first position and the second claw 22 in the third position. Because the third claw 23 and the fourth claw 24 rigid with the second connecting portion 34 are connected, the second ends also engage the third jaw 23 and the fourth claw 24 at.

The second connection section 34 is thus rigid with the socket 15 connected, that on the one hand he lies in two retaining grooves, which in the upper end face of the base 15 are formed diametrically with respect to the pivot axis S and whose width is equal to the width of the second connecting portion 34 is and on the other hand in the 5 front fixing screw 32 from above through the cover plate 30 and a through hole that extends radially outward of the circlips 29 through the second connection section 34 goes, in the upper end face of the base 15 screwed. The other, in the 5 rear fixing screw 32 is from above through the cover plate 30 and between the two connecting sections 33 . 34 in the upper end face of the base 15 screwed. The rubber washer 31 is from the top of the cover plate 30 glued.
