AI Technical Summary
Existing tools for managing cooking fires, particularly for handling and suspending heavy fuel wood, are inadequate as they either require direct contact with the fire or are not designed to handle heavy loads safely.
A weight-lifting tong composed of three hanging plates with finger holes, a claw at one end, and a hole for a shaft near the other end, allowing for alternating claw directions, enabling safe lifting and carrying of heavy objects without direct contact with the fire.
The weight-lifting tong facilitates easy lifting and carrying of heavy objects, preventing burns and allowing for safe handling of heavy fuel wood in cooking fires, while also being versatile for use in road management and other applications.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a tool for moving fuel for cooking fires.
Background Art
[0002] Regardless of the object to be grasped, tools for grasping objects are of two types: those with an axis and those without an axis. Those with an axis usually have a part for grasping an object on one side and a part for inserting a finger on the other side when viewed from the axis. Those without an axis are usually V-shaped and made of an elastic material. Various types of tongs are commercially available. Although there has been a device in which the part for grasping an object and the part touched by a finger are on the same side when viewed from the axis, it is for use in cooking and not suitable for suspending heavy objects such as fuel.

Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0005] We have been using fire for a long time, but our knowledge, experience, and tools regarding combustion are not sufficient. In a cooking fire, various-shaped woods can be used as fuel, but we propose a tong that can be used to place heavy wood on a fire grate without direct contact and to remove burning wood from the fire grate.
Means for Solving the Problem
[0006] A weight-lifting tong formed by assembling three hanging plates each having one or more holes for passing fingers, a claw at one end, and a hole for passing a shaft near the other end so that the directions of the claws alternate.
Effect of the Invention
[0007] The weight-lifting tong of the present invention has claws for preventing the weight from falling, so not only is it very easy to lift the weight, but it can also be carried with one hand. Depending on the purpose, one of an appropriate length can be made. By using a plurality of tongs by one or more people, even a very heavy object can be lifted. In a cooking fire, it can be used to prevent burns, and in road management, it can also be used to remove animal carcasses.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[0009] The hanging plate of the weight-lifting tong of the present invention can be made of burnt cedar, but the material is not limited to burnt cedar.
Example
[0010] Between two pieces of charred cedar boards with a thickness of 1.5 cm, a width of 6 cm, and a length of 50 cm, each with two finger holes with a diameter of 3.5 cm, sandwich a charred cedar board with a thickness of 1.5 cm, a width of 6 cm, and a length of 50 cm with one finger hole with a diameter of 3.5 cm, and fix it with screws. Attach stainless steel hinges with a length of 5 cm to the ends so that their directions alternate, making it a tong for lifting heavy objects of the present invention. This tong for lifting heavy objects can pass three fingers of one hand through the finger holes, hang a 4-kg log, place it on a burning brazier, lower the lit log from the brazier, and hang it and carry it to the water discharge place. It was confirmed that this could be done.
Industrial Applicability
[0011] The tong for lifting heavy objects of the present invention can be expected to have demand as outdoor supplies, research instruments for burning and extinguishing logs, road management tools, and the like.
Claims
[Claim 1] The tongs for hanging a heavy load are made by assembling three hanging plates each having one or more holes for passing a finger through, a claw at one end, and a hole for passing a shaft through near the other end, with the claws facing alternately.
