Vacuum tool for picking up small objects - includes vacuum pipe with spring lever over vacuum orifice to remove object when released

摘要

The tool which is used like a pair of tweezers includes a tubular element (1), and a flexible arm (4) of similar length attached to the element at one end. The tube has one end connected to a vacuum pump, and has a small orifice (2) in the side of the other end. The arm also has a matching orifice, so that when the arm is squeezed against the tube, the orifices line up and an object may be picked up using the suction effect. To release the object the arm is released, pushing the object away from the vacuum pipe. ADVANTAGE - Handling small objects without need for valve in vacuum pipe line.
