Fish gripping tool

摘要

A seafood handling tool is provided that comprises a tong-like configuration with a first arm member and a second arm member in pivotal relationship to one another. The arm members are connected to one another along their proximal ends via a clevis, which extends from the first arm member and supports the second arm member from a pin joint. The clevis offsets the first and second arm member, while the pin joint allows the arm members to pivot relative to one another to accept larger or smaller seafood between the arm members along the distal ends. The distal ends of the arm members include elongated tines that extend from the inner surfaces thereof and towards one another. The tines engage an article of seafood while the user grips the proximal ends of the arm members, thereby separating the seafood from the handler.

主权项

1. A seafood handling tool, comprising:
a first arm member and a second arm member; each arm member comprising a proximal end, a distal end, an elongated length, and an inner surface; said proximal end of said first arm member further comprising a clevis with a first and second clevis member; said proximal end of said second arm member being disposed between said first and second clevis member and pivotably affixed thereto via a pin joint extending through said first and second clevis members and said proximal end of said second arm member; wherein said distal end of said first arm member is adapted to rotate 180 degrees away from said distal end of said second arm member; said inner surface of said first arm member having a first set of tines extending therefrom; said inner surface of said second arm member having a second set of tines extending therefrom; said first set of tines and said second set of tines being staggered along the length of each arm member such that when said first arm member and said second arm member are in a closed state of said tines intertwine one another.
