Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Purpose of the Invention (Field of Industrial Application) This invention relates to a gripping tool, particularly a cooking gripping tool for gripping fried foods and the like.

(Prior Art) In general, a gripping tool includes a pair of gripping pieces connected to each other so as to be openable and closable, and the gripping pieces are always kept open by their own elasticity.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the above-mentioned gripping tool, both the gripping pieces are always kept open, which makes it bulky and inconvenient when stored. Furthermore, since the opening angle of the clamping pieces is constant, it is necessary to use various gripping tools depending on the size and thickness of the object to be clamped. Furthermore, in order to keep the clamping pieces closed while holding an object between the clamping pieces, it was necessary for a person to press the clamping pieces with their hands.

Structure of the device (means for solving the problem) In order to solve the above problem, this device connects a pair of clamping pieces 1 to each other at their proximal ends by a connecting member 2 having elasticity. A pair of clamping parts 3 are formed at the tips of these clamping pieces 1 and cooperate with each other, and an adjusting member 9 is provided between the clamping pieces 1 for adjusting the opening angle. The adjusting member 9 is provided so as to be movable in the length direction of the clamping piece 1, and a pair of protrusions 10 are formed between the clamping pieces 1 and along one of the clamping pieces 1. A locking protrusion 8 for regulating the forwardmost movement position of the adjusting member 9 when the two clamping pieces 1 are in use is formed on the two clamping pieces 1, and a finger rest recess 7 is formed in at least one of the two clamping pieces 1. Established.

(Function) When the adjusting member 9 is positioned at the base end on the clamping piece 1, both clamping pieces 1 are in an open state. By moving the adjustment member 9 toward the distal end, the opening angle of both clamping pieces 1 can be adjusted. At this time, since the adjusting member 9 always moves along one of the clamping pieces 1 due to the protrusion 10 provided on the adjusting member 9, the adjusting member 9 does not wobble or rotate with respect to the clamping piece 1. There is nothing to do. If the adjusting member 9 is moved from the forwardmost position of the clamping piece 1 in use to the distal end side and overcoming the locking protrusion 8, both clamping pieces 1 are kept in the closed state. Furthermore, if you place your fingers on the finger rest recess 7 provided in the clamping piece 1 during these operations, your fingers will not jump out of the recess 7 even when you apply force, making it very easy to use.

(Embodiment) An embodiment embodying this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a pair of clamping pieces;
They are connected to each other by a connecting member 2 at the base end. The connecting member 2 is formed by bending an elastic plate material, and is designed to always urge the holding pieces 1 into an open state. Clamping parts 3 are formed at the distal ends of both clamping pieces 1, and the gripping parts 3 become wider toward the distal end so that they cooperate with each other when clamping an object. 4 is a bent portion formed by bending the periphery of each clamping portion 3 toward mutually opposing sides; 5 is each bent portion 4;
A large number of anti-slip protrusions are formed on the surface. Reference numeral 6 denotes a hole transparently provided in each clamping portion 3 and extending in the length direction of the clamping piece 1. Reference numeral 7 denotes a finger rest recess provided approximately at the center of each clamping piece 1. Reference numeral 8 denotes a locking protrusion protruding from the base end side of one of the finger rest recesses 7.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a substantially rectangular cylindrical adjustment member that is provided so as to span over both the clamping pieces 1, and is movable in the length direction of the clamping pieces 1. When the gripper is in use, the movement of the adjusting member 9 is regulated between the locking protrusion 8 and the connecting member 2, so that the gripping pieces 1 can be held in the open state. 1
0 is a pair of convex portions formed on both sides of the adjustment member 9, and one of the clamping pieces 1 is located between the two clamping pieces 1.
It protrudes inward along the .

To use the grip formed as described above, as shown in FIG.
It is sufficient to position it at the upper proximal end and to open both the clamping pieces 1. In this state, both clamping pieces 1 are widened, so that it is possible to clamp relatively thick objects.

When holding a thin object, the adjusting member 9 is moved toward the distal end within the range up to the locking protrusion 8, as shown in FIG. Then, the amount of expansion of both clamping pieces 1 becomes slightly smaller than in the above-mentioned open state. In this case, depending on the position setting of the adjustment member 9, the pair of clamping pieces 1
The opening angle can be arbitrarily determined.

Further, since the adjusting member 9 is provided with a pair of convex portions 10 along one of the clamping pieces 1, even when both clamping pieces 1 are pressed in a direction toward each other when using the gripping tool, the adjusting member 9 is One clamp piece 1
is locked. Therefore, the adjusting member 9 does not rattle or rotate relative to the gripping pieces 1.

When not in use, the adjusting member 9 is moved further toward the distal end from the forwardmost position of the adjusting member 9 in the used state. At this time, when both clamping pieces 1 are grasped with hands and pressed in a direction toward each other, the locking protrusion 8 is slightly retracted inward together with the clamping piece 1, so that the adjustment member 9 can pass over the locking protrusion 8 toward the distal end. becomes. When the adjusting member 9 is moved toward the distal end side by passing over the locking protrusion 8, the clamping pieces 1 are held in a closed state as shown in FIG. In this way, it will not be bulky when stored and will be convenient to carry.

Furthermore, if the adjustment member 9 is moved slightly toward the tip end side of the locking protrusion 8 while the object is being held between both the gripping pieces 1, the object can be held in the state that it is being held between both the gripping pieces 1. I can do it. For this reason, when frying food, etc., there is no need to press the gripping pieces 1 by hand, and cooking can be performed easily. In addition, since the gripping piece 1 is provided with a finger rest recess 7, as long as you put your finger on this part, even if you apply force when moving the adjustment member 9, your finger will not stay in this finger rest recess. 7, and the moving operation described above is very easy.

Effects of the device As detailed above, this device allows the opening angle of the clamping piece to be adjusted, and at the same time prevents the adjustment member from rattling or rotating relative to the clamping piece. Not only is this possible, but it is also very easy to operate when in use, and furthermore, since both gripping pieces can be held in a closed state, there is an excellent effect that it does not take up much space when stored.
