SOLUTION: This manual tool 10 for holding a rectangular plate 12 is provided with a handle 16 and a pair of mutually separated holding elements 24, 26 connected to the handle 16. Besides, a movable frame 32 is movably connected to the handle 16. On the other hand, another pair of holding elements 44, 46 mutually separated are connected to the movable frame 32 by a spring to be approached to the first pair of holding elements 26, 30. In such a constitution, a trigger 40 is approached to the handle 16 to be connected to the movable frame 32 so that the second pair of holding elements 44, 46 may be shifted to and from the first pair of holding elements 26, 30 to hold and release the rectangular plate 12.</p> |
