[0010] The auxiliary gripping tool is an auxiliary gripping tool in which individual clamping arms 1 (70) and 2 (71) can be detachably attached, and includes an outer gripping tool part (20) arranged on the outside and having a base (21) and a pair of arm parts (22) that extend from both ends of the base (21) and face each other, and an inner gripping tool part (40) arranged inside the outer gripping tool part (20) and having a base (41) and a pair of arm parts (42) that extend from both ends of the base (41) and face each other. The inner gripping device part (40) can be detachably fixed between the pair of arms (22) of the outer gripping device part (20), and the clamping arm 1 (70) and the clamping arm 2 (71) are held by being sandwiched between the inner surfaces of the pair of arms (22) of the outer gripping device part (20) and the outer surfaces of the pair of arms (42) of the inner gripping device part (40), and the clamping arm 1 (70) and the clamping arm 2 (71) can be opened and closed to be used as tongs.

[0011] The auxiliary gripper can have an elastic material attached between the inner surface of the outer gripper portion (20) and the outer surface of the inner gripper portion (40).

[0012] The base (21) of the outer gripper part (20) has a spring function to open the arm parts (22).

[0013] The base (41) of the inner gripper part (40) has a spring function to open the arms (42).

[0014] An elastic material is attached as a spacer (30) to the inner surface of the outer gripping device part (20), and an elastic material is attached as a spacer (50) to the outer surface of the inner gripping device part (40), and the arms are held by fitting to the shapes of clamping arm 1 (70) and clamping arm 2 (71). [Example]

[0015] The outer gripping part (20) and the inner gripping part (40) are made of metal and are made of thin steel plate such as stainless steel, which is elastically deformable, and the material for the spacer is suitably a molded product of silicone rubber, which is an elastic material and has a heat-resistant property, and the spacer has a shape that allows it to fit into the outer gripping part (20) or the inner gripping part (40).

[0016] The auxiliary gripping device main body (10) shown in FIG. 1 shows a state in which the clamping arm 1 (70) and the clamping arm 2 (71) are clamped between the outer gripping device part (20) and the inner gripping device part (40) and held by the fastener (60).

[0017] Figure 2 shows the AA cross section of Figure 1, in which the outer gripper part (20) has inward bent parts (23) at both ends of the arm width direction, which mainly provide the spring effect for opening and closing when used as tongs, and a spacer (30) is attached to the inner surface of the outer gripper part (20). The inner gripper part (40) is made of a flat plate made of stainless steel or the like, which itself has a spring effect, and a spacer (50) is attached to the outer surface.

[0018] In FIG. 2, the aforementioned spacers (30) and (50) are made of an elastic material such as silicone rubber, so they can conform to the cross section of the clamping arm 1 (70), and can hold the clamping arm 1 (70) by sandwiching it between the spacers.

[0019] FIG. 3 shows a cross section of the inner gripping member 40 in FIG. 2, with outward bending at both ends of the arm in the width direction, to form outward bent portions 44, which provide a spring effect when opening and closing during use.

[0020] In FIG. 4, the outer gripping part (20) in FIG. 2 is curved in the width direction of the arm, which gives it a spring effect when opening and closing during use.

[0021] Figure 5 shows the configuration of the outer gripping device part 20 and the inner gripping device part 40. The outer gripping device part 20 has a notched part 24 that allows the base part 21 to have an appropriate spring effect, and has a bolt hole 26 through which the bolt 61 of the fastener 60 passes. The arm part 22 of the outer gripping device part 20 has a hook receiving hole 25.

[0022] The spacer (30) of FIG. 5 is divided into two parts, each of which is provided with a hook projection (31), and the hook projection (31) penetrates the hook receiving hole (25) of the arm portion (22) from the inside.

[0023] 5 has a bolt hole 45 for receiving the bolt 61 of the fastener 60. A hook receiving hole 43 is provided in the arm 42 of the inner gripping part 40.

[0024] The spacer (50) of FIG. 5 is integrally provided with a hook projection (51) on the inside, and the hook projection (51) is inserted into the hook receiving hole (43) of the arm portion (42) from the outer surface side.

[0025] The method of fixing the spacer in Figures 2, 3 and 4 is that both the outer gripping part (20) and the inner gripping part (40) have hook receiving holes (25) (43) at predetermined positions, and the spacer is fixed by inserting the hook protrusions (31) (51) provided on the spacer into the holes.

[0026] FIG. 6 shows a configuration in which the outer gripping part (20) with the spacer assembled thereto, the inner gripping part (40) with the spacer assembled thereto, and the clamping arm 1 (70) and the clamping arm 2 (71) are assembled together using the bolt (61) and wing nut (62) of the fastener (60).

[0027] In FIG. 7, the auxiliary gripper body (10) holds the clamping arm 1 (70) and the clamping arm 2 (71) in the assembled form of tongs.

[0028] In FIG. 7, the clamping arm 1 (70) and the clamping arm 2 (71) are tongs using commercially available spoons.

[0029] Figure 8 is a rear view of the tongs in Figure 7. The fastener (60) is an example of a device that allows bolts and nuts to be tightened without using tools. The bolts are flat-head bolts with a slit for coin use on pan head, truss head, or bind head bolts, and the nuts are wing nuts (62) that can be tightened by hand, making them suitable for outdoor use.

[0030] It is also possible to consider a method in which, instead of using a wing nut (62) or a general hexagonal nut, the bolt hole (45) of the inner gripping part is not made into a through hole, but is instead burred and tapped to have a screw function so that the bolt (61) can be tightened directly.

[0031] In FIG. 9, the clamping arm 1 (70) is a commercially available fork and the clamping arm 2 (71) is a commercially available spoon.

[0032] In FIG. 10, the clamping arm 1 (70) is a commercially available disposable chopstick and the clamping arm 2 (71) is also a commercially available disposable chopstick. According to this embodiment, such a combination is also possible. [Explanation of symbols]
