Tweezer Patents (Class D28/55)
  • Patent number: 5370020
    Abstract: A novelty holder for nails, brads and the like incudes a pliable molded sculpted hand having the shape and appearance of a human hand as it would be oriented if holding a nail between the thumb and forefinger perpendicularly to a workpiece. A spring integrally molded within the thumb and forefinger normally biases the tips of the thumb and forefinger into contact with each other whereby a nail is resiliently received in firm and guided relation between the thumb and forefinger. The underside of the sculpted hand is flat so that the holder may be stably seated upon a workpiece. An optional sound device supported within the sculpted hand is adapted to say "ouch" when a part of the hand, say the thumb, is struck with predetermined impact.
