Some such tools have the defect that they will not hold the hand after it is taken off;
In the accompanying drawings-' Figure 1 is a side elevation of the tool in normal position.
Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the-tool in the position it assumes when removing a hand.
Fig. 3 is an edge elevation.
Fig. 4 is a detail showing a hand grasped by the tool.
The tool is of the tweezers type, and has a pair of fiat spring jaw members 4 and 5 which are fastened togetherat theirxupper ends as indicated at 6. The lower ends of these members are bent inwardly and are beveled to an 'edge, as indicated at 7 and 8,. to be inserted under the in proper form hand. i I
A piece of spring steel 9 is bowed or looped around the members 4 and 5 as shown, and is shaped to produce two bows 10 and 11 beside the members 4 and 5, and a finger loop 12 at the top. 'The strip 9 is secured to the inner members as by rivets 17.
The lower ends of the spring bows l0 and 11 press against the outer sides of the members 4 and 5 near the lower ends thereof, as shown. j I
Between the jaws 4 and 5 is a spring 1.3, of special form. Its upper part is looped or bent to inverted V shape to fit between the members 4 and 5. The lower end is looped or bent to form a finger 15 located directly above the space between the jaws 7 and 8, and a connecting part 16 extends between one side of the loop and the upper part of the finger.

and at theflsame time compress and elon-- gate the spring 13 thereby causing itsfinger 1,5 to descend againstthe hand, thereby gripping the hand between the lower end of said-finger and the jaws 7 aud8, and, finally, continued pressure on the bows 10 and 11 elongates the same and forces their free ends against the dial, thereby lifting the jaws 7 and 8' and the hand carried thereby, 1'
to loosen the hand from the arbor and permitting it to, be readily lifted off, and in all positions it will beheld by the finger and the'jaws as above described until the pressure is released. In similarmanner it may be used for picking up hands from any sur- I claim: I 1. A tool comprising a pair of spring jaws, and 'a pair of spring bows pressing faceand placing them in position.
