Abstract: A tool is designed to be attached to an actuator having a rotary fulcrum and heads on a tip end opposite to the rotary fulcrum. The tool includes a finger inserted between a first pair of mutually adjacent suspensions which are provided with heads having mutually opposing scanning surfaces, and a partitioning plate inserted between a second pair of mutually adjacent suspensions which are provided with heads having mutually opposing back surfaces that are on opposite ends from the scanning surfaces.

Abstract: A head clip used in a task of assembly, inspection, and maintenance such as repair or cleaning of a device having a head attached to an actuator, and to a working method using the head clip. The heads are located at an extreme end of the actuator. The head clip includes first and second support units inserted into the actuator so as to support suspensions to which the heads are disposed. The first support units are in contact with adjacent suspensions and support them at a first position which is located nearer to the pivoting fulcrum than to the heads in the longitudinal direction of the actuator. The second support units regulate the adjacent suspensions at a second position located at the extreme end, and the heads are disposed between the first position and the second position on the longitudinal direction.
