Abstract:
1. A tweezer device with an improved gripping tip structure that comprises two gripping tip bodies arranged in a symmetric vee configuration supported on a first flexible tweezer beam and a third gripping tip body supported on a second flexible tweezer beam arranged in such a manner that the third gripping tip body is oriented to engage a work object and direct a force on the work object that is approximately coplanar with the plane of symmetry of the vee configured structure in a manner that pushes the work object into contact with the two vee configured gripping tip bodies thus forming two lines of contact between the work object and the vee configured tip bodies, where each of the three gripping tip bodies has a vee-groove profile central to each of the three gripping tip bodies creating a gripping geometry designed to securely grip thin circular disks.
