  • Patent number: 11498188
    Abstract: A gripping tool includes first and second arms connected to each other at proximal ends, a first gripping portion having a first gripping surface, and a second gripping portion having a second gripping surface. The first and second gripping surfaces are in planar contact with each other when the first and second arms are pressed toward each other in closing directions. At least one of the first and second gripping portions is an elastic part extending toward the proximal end. When the first and second arms are further pressed in the closing directions from a state in which the first and second gripping surfaces are in planar contact with each other, the elastic part is elastically deformed while maintaining the planar contact between the first gripping surface and the second gripping surface.

  • Patent number: 11344096
    Abstract: Tweezers 8 are provided with a pair of resilient gripping sections 80 and 81 and include an elliptic projection 85 restricting movement in a gripping direction provided on the inside in substantially the center in a longitudinal direction of the other-side gripping section 81. Preferably, a one-side gripping surface 80a of the one-side gripping section 80 is a plane, and the other-side gripping surface 81a of the other-side gripping section 81 is a reduction plane formed by cutting out a rear end side of an opposing plane symmetrically formed in the plane. The one-side gripping section 80 preferably includes a recess 80c in a direction in which a gripping interval narrows from a rear end side in a longitudinal direction toward a tip side. It is preferable that an engaging recess 81c be formed on an opposite side of the one-side gripping section 80 including the projection 85.
