<p>A gripping device 102, for gripping a flexible sheet material, comprises an outer body portion 104 and an inner body portion 106, the inner body portion being separated into a plurality of flaps 108 made of a resilient material. The flaps 108 extend inwardly from the outer body portion 104 and are deformable so as to define an aperture through the inner body portion 106 in the form of a plurality of inwardly extending openings between the flaps 108. Each flap 108 comprises a main portion, and an end portion 110 distal from the outer body portion 104, the main portion extending substantially in a plane, and the end portion 110 being angled away from the plane of the main portion. Preferably, a stop 116 opposes the deformation of the flaps beyond a maximum desired deformation.</p> |
