  • Patent number: 4575143
    Abstract: A combination magnetic and mechanical object manipulation and retrieval tool. The magnetic portion of the tool is tubular in shape and is coaxially aligned with the mechanical, prehensile portion of the tool. The magnetic portion of the tool, which surrounds the prehensile portion, includes an annular shaped face which extends substantially perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the tool. With this arrangement the magnetic portion of the tool augments the prehensile portion of the tool to permit objects disposed within a confined space to be easily maneuvered about so that they can either be removed by the magnet or conveniently aligned with and expeditiously gripped by the fingers of the prehensile portion of the device.
