A foldable elongate grabber tool includes a proximal section and a distal section that are foldable relative to each other between a folded position and an extended position. An actuation member is attached to the proximal section and actuates a cable coupled to engagement elements disposed at the distal section. A hinge mechanism connects the proximal and distal sections. The hinge mechanism automatically locks the proximal and distal sections relative to each other when they reach the extended position. The proximal and distal sections are biased to open automatically from the folded position to the extended position. A hinge pin is biased toward a locked position, and is blocked from moving to the locked position until the proximal and distal sections reach the extended position.

A tissue paper retrieving device for snatching tissue paper includes a handle having an ergonomic squeeze grip. The handle has a palm surface and a finger surface. A battery is positioned within a battery compartment. A button is positioned on the palm surface of the handle. A motor is positioned within an interior of the handle. The motor is in mechanical communication with the ergonomic squeeze grip. An arm protrudes out from an end of the finger surface of the handle. Each claw of a plurality of claws has a base end and a free end. The free end of each of the claws is positioned facing an axial line of the arm. The free end of each of the claws is moves toward the axial line when in positioned in the arm.

An inanimate magnetically attractable object retrieval apparatus configured to retrieve small, inanimate, magnetically attractable objects from confining spaces with magnetic forces. The apparatus comprises a head comprising magnetic material permanently attached to a first end region of a flexible body that has a tail with a width and a length. The length is able to be reversibly bent in a 180 degree arc with a diameter of 1 inch only in a plane perpendicular to a plane containing the width and the length of the tail and unable to be reversibly bent in a 180 degree arc with a diameter of 1 inch in a plane parallel to the plane containing the width and the length of the tail.

The present invention provides improved methods and apparatus for securely gripping objects or panels having cross sections, including heavy objects such as granite slabs to be used as counter tops, or lighter objects such as doors or windows, in order to facilitate lifting, moving, transporting, installing and/or storage thereof. A pair of jaws are provided between a rotatable turnbuckle and ratchet assembly which opens or closes the jaws around an object. The ratchet may be used to impart fine rotation to the turnbuckle in one direction to apply pressure to the jaws to firmly engage an object. Reversing the ratchet and rotating the turnbuckle in an opposite direction allows the object to be released. A handle on the ratchet facilitates lifting and moving the object gripped between the jaws.

A cable grip includes a pulling arm/force member having an in-line linkage that minimizes moments on the grip when a pulling force is applied.

The present disclosure provides an extensible stable clamping device. A chuck subassembly of the extensible stable clamping device includes two clamping jaw bodies and two clamping jaw heads. The two clamping jaw bodies are curved towards the inner sides and are symmetrically disposed; after the two clamping jaw bodies are closed, a clamping gap is formed between the clamping jaw bodies; the clamping gap can accommodate a clamped object; each clamping jaw head is located at a top of the clamping jaw body and extends a distance in a direction where the clamping jaw body extends out to form a plate shape; and after the two clamping jaw bodies are closed, the two clamping jaw heads are attached to each other to improve the clamping stability.
