A magnetic cleaning device includes a handle unit, a main unit, and a deforming mechanism. The main unit includes a housing and a magnetic member. The deforming mechanism is connected between the handle unit and the main unit. The housing defines an accommodating space extending along an axis. The magnetic member is disposed in the accommodating space, and is movable along the axis between an attraction position, where the magnetic member is adjacent to an end of the housing, and a non-attraction position, where the magnetic member is away from the end of the housing. The main unit is movable relative to the handle unit via operation of the deforming mechanism.

A reaching and grabbing tool is provided. The tool includes a trigger assembly having at least one trigger and a handle. A jaw assembly is provided having at least one jaw operably connected to the at least one trigger to move the at least one jaw. A hinge assembly is disposed between the trigger assembly and the jaw assembly, the hinge assembly being selectively lockable between an operating position and a folded position.

The inventive concept relates to a wearable hand robot mounted on a finger to bend the finger by an external force transmitted through a wire. The wearable hand robot is capable of preventing an injury to a user's hand by the wire, achieving simplification of the structure of a finger cap and an improvement in a wearing sensation, and stably moving the finger while having a tactile sensation.

An insertion instrument comprises an insertion portion including a bending portion provided at a distal end side of the insertion portion, a first wire provided in the insertion portion, and an operation portion provided at a proximal end side of the insertion portion. The operation portion includes a bending operation unit. The bending operation unit includes a lever having a central shaft defining a central axis, a rotor coupled to the lever, a wire attachment surface to which the first wire is attached. An inner surface of the operation portion includes a receiver body and a restriction body. The receiver body supports the rotor for rotation about the central axis and for movement of the lever from a neutral position to an inclined position, where, in the inclined position, the central shaft is inclined relative to the central shaft in the neutral position. Movement of the lever from the neutral position to the inclined position pulls the first wire to bend the bending portion. The restriction surface restricts a portion of the rotation of the rotor about the central axis.

Disclosed is a kit of parts for forming a gripping tool. The kit of parts includes two arms shaped as sheets, each arm having a distal gripping section and a proximal handle section. The distal gripping section has a frame encompassing a window. The first and second arms each include a mobile connection at respective proximal ends, which is configured to connect the arms together such that they face each other. At least one of the arms, in the handle section, comprises an abutment feature protruding from a plane connecting a distal edge and a proximal edge of the arm and provided on a face of the arm intended to face the other arm. A gripping tool assembled from the kit of parts is intended to be used in connection with a bag, such as, for example, a bag commonly used for disposing animal feces.

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 members 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.
