ABSTRACT:
A device is provided for gripping, lifting and manipulating wooden logs intended to be entered into the combustion zone of a furnace. The device has a straight rigid staff having a fixed gripping arm at its forwardmost extremity. A sliding assembly, which slidably engages the staff by way of an encircling collar, is equipped with an actuator handle, a moving gripping arm, a lever portion, and two fulcrum elbows. When the actuator handle is squeezed toward the staff, the two fulcrum elbows cause the moving gripping arm to angle toward the opposed fixed gripping arm. Such action exerts holding force upon a log contacted by the two gripping arms.
