In this example, the area of any one of the first peripheral surface 13 and the second peripheral surface 14 is substantially the same as the area of an axial cross-section where the grab portion A3 is nested into the nesting groove 16.

Referring to the first to third figures, an extension direction of the first circumferential surface 13 from the nesting surface 11 to the bottom surface 12 and the nesting direction form an angle θ, the angle θ is greater than zero and between 1 degree to Between 5 degrees, in this example, the angle θ is substantially 4 degrees. The distance between the portion of the first peripheral surface 13 adjacent to the bottom surface 12 and the sleeve groove 16 is greater than the distance between the portion of the second peripheral surface 14 adjacent to the bottom surface 12 and the sleeve groove 16, and the first peripheral surface 13 includes a The protruding portion 131 is located at the junction of the first peripheral surface 13 and the bottom surface 12 and protrudes in a direction away from the sleeve groove 16, so that the first peripheral surface 13 and the bottom surface 12 The junction forms a first rounded corner with a larger radius of curvature, the junction between the second peripheral surface 14 and the bottom surface 12 forms a second rounded corner, and a curvature radius R1 of the first rounded corner is greater than the first rounded corner. A radius of curvature R2 for two rounds. Furthermore, the connection between each third peripheral surface 15 and the bottom surface 12 forms a third rounded corner, and a radius of curvature R3 of the third rounded corner is also greater than the radius of curvature R2 of the second rounded corner.

Referring to Figures 5 to 7, the gripper sleeve is made of elastic material. When the gripper is sleeved on the gripper A, although the area of the slot opening 17 is smaller than that of the gripper portion A3 The area of the radial cross section, and the volume of the nested groove 16 is smaller than the volume of the grab portion A3 that is nested into the nested groove 16, but with the elasticity of the gripper sleeve, the gripper can still open from the groove 17 Extending into the sleeve groove 16, the gripper sleeve will be expanded along the shape of the gripper A to conform to the gripper gripper A, the gripper portion A3 is sleeved in the sleeve groove 16 and tightly with the body 1. In cooperation, although the gripper sleeve only covers about half of the axial length of the gripper portion A3, the gripper sleeve is not easy to fall off the gripper A.

Referring to the second, fifth and eighth figures, since the gripper sleeve only touches the grip part A3 of the gripper A, and has no contact with the operating part A1 and the conversion part A2, the gripper sleeve and The gripping parts A3 are attached in parallel in a plate shape. The contact between the sleeved surface 11 and the gripping part A3 is not easy to form a card slot.

Similarly, the radius of curvature R3 (the third figure) of the third rounded corner of each third peripheral surface 15 is also larger, so that each third peripheral surface 15 is also easy to exert force during the process of clamping the object B , Good gripping.

It should be added that, in this example, the first peripheral surface 13 extends obliquely by the angle θ between 1 degree and 5 degrees between the extending direction of the first peripheral surface 13 and the nesting direction, so that the first The distance between the portion of the peripheral surface 13 adjacent to the bottom surface 12 and the sleeve groove 16 is greater than the distance between the portion of the second peripheral surface 14 adjacent to the bottom surface 12 and the sleeve groove 16, if the extending direction of the first peripheral surface 13 It is parallel to the nesting direction and does not extend diagonally. The angle θ of the clip is zero, so that the distance between the entire first peripheral surface 13 and the nesting groove 16 is greater than that between the entire second peripheral surface 14 and the nesting groove The distance of 16 is also possible, mainly because the radius of curvature R1 of the first rounded corner of the first peripheral surface 13 is larger, which makes it easier to clamp the object B.

In summary, because the extension length is less than the axial length, the gripper sleeve only contacts the gripper portion A3 of the gripper A, and when the object B is clamped, the sleeved surface 11 and the The object B is not easily hooked between the grabbing portions A3, and because the body 1 is made of elastic material, the area of the slot opening 17 is smaller than the area of the radial cross-section of the grabbing portion A3, and the nesting The volume of the groove 16 is smaller than the volume of the gripping portion A3 being sleeved into the sleeve groove 16, so that the grabbing portion A3 is sleeved into the sleeve groove 16 and tightly fitted with the body 1, although the gripping claw sleeve is only partially sleeved The grip part A3, the gripper sleeve is not easy to fall off from the gripper A, and the distance between the portion of the first peripheral surface 13 adjacent to the bottom surface 12 and the sleeve groove 16 is greater than that of the second peripheral surface 14 The distance between the portion adjacent to the bottom surface 12 and the sleeve groove 16 so that the radius of curvature R1 of the first rounded corner is greater than the radius of curvature R2 of the second rounded corner, so that the first peripheral surface 13 is clamped When the object B has a larger contact area between the first rounded corner and the object B, it is easier to grip the object B and apply force better. Similarly, the radius of curvature R3 of the third rounded corner is larger than the first rounded corner. The radius of curvature R2 of the two rounded corners enables the third peripheral surface 15 to exert more force when the object B is clamped.
