| Abstract: |
Disclosed is a manipulatable implement for clamping upon an object or for picking up and holding food. The implement comprises a cylinder halved by a common division running through its center axis at a constant slope for its entire length with such division therethrough being at a rotation of 180 degrees and following the contour of a double helix. Appropriate applied manipulative sliding pressure cams open and closes the two halves to allow their distal ends to clamp upon an object, or to pick up and hold food. A modification has the two halves hinged together in their upper region by a rubber band engaged with a peripheral recess.

Having thusly described my invention, I claim:
1. A manipulatable implement for use in clamping upon an object, or in picking up small objects, or for use in picking up and holding food, said manipulatable implement comprising a cylinder halved into two separate parts, each of said two separate parts having, in integral, one-piece construction, cooperating means responsive to manipulative pressure applied upon said two separate parts, together with constrained relative sliding movement of said two separate parts, to cam open and close said two separate parts in clamping upon an object, or in picking up small objects, or in picking up and holding food.
