Grabber Accessory

grabcad

To enhance my previous Deployable Hook/Cam Accessory, I attempted to create an easy grabber by reversing the jaws, but it didn't work out. Instead, I lengthened the jaws, included a mounting flange and added a crucial ratchet feature to prevent reopening while lifting items. The spring-loaded (unillustrated; attach springs or elastic bands to RED posts) design offers limited motion but can still grab handles, with the 4-jaw version suitable for balls or flanged connector picks. This single 3D-printed invention replaces multiple manufacturing and assembly processes of traditional methods like molding, casting, machining, bonding, welding, and pin insertion.
