Abstract: A manipulator includes a control unit (1), with handle (4) and control buttons (4a-4d), and a connecting arm (2) which, at its proximal end (2a), carries the control unit (1) and, at its distal end (2b), carries a work unit (3). The control buttons (4a-4d) control at least a first inclination motor, which causes a movement of inclination of a tool support (5) of the work unit (3) about a transverse inclination axis (11), and they control the actual rotation of the tool support (5) about its direction of inclination (II) and control the orientation of the direction of inclination (II) about the longitudinal axis (I-I) of the connecting arm (2). A particularly ergonomic manipulator is thus obtained which is easy to learn to use and which efficiently separates the stresses arising from movements of the tool support (5) and the stresses arising from holding and moving the manipulator itself.

The handle (4) is articulated about at least one transverse articulation axis (4e), which is itself situated at an intermediate position along the handle (4). A particularly ergonomic manipulator is thus obtained which is easy to learn to use and which efficiently separates the stresses arising from movements of the tool support (5) and the stresses arising from holding and moving the manipulator itself.

Abstract: A hand-held manipulator includes a handle (4) fixedly mounted on the end of a connecting arm (2), the distal end (2b) of which carries a work unit (3). The handle (4) includes a grip section (4e) having a surface of revolution about a longitudinal handle axis (III), which is aligned with the longitudinal axis (I) of the arm. Control elements (4a-4c) are shaped in an annular structure near the distal end (4f) of the grip section (4e) so as to be accessible in any angular orientation of the hand holding the handle.
