Two-pincher gripper
The drawing shows a simple version of a two-pincher gripper. The claws
are attached to a frame, and are normally held apart by springs. The
claws are pulled together by means of a pair of cords that merge into a
single cord as shown.This allows the gripper to pick up small,light objects.
To release the grip, the cord is let go.
