ABSTRACT:
A hand-held gripping device allows a user to pick up small objects with relative ease. The gripping device has a resilient hollow body with two generally symmetrical side surfaces and a normally open mouth with two pointed corners. Each side surface has a lip portion extending to a curved edge at the mouth. The side surfaces are responsive to compressional forces exerted by a user's hand, whereby they curl towards each other and close the mouth. The closing of the mouth allows a small object to be captured.
