ABSTRACT:
A mechanical hand amusement device consisting of a movable grip member joined by a rod, which extends through a tubular arm, to a hand member having a fixed thumb and four finger members which bend inward when the grip member is squeezed. Each finger member includes three hollow segments which are joined by flexible hinges at the tops, and have a flexible strap which is anchored within the fingertip segment running along the bottoms. The strap extending through each of the finger members is coupled to the rod so that a portion of the strap is retracted into the hand member when the grip member is squeezed. The resulting forces move the finger members inward in a grasping motion. A spring within the hand member returns the elements to their at-rest positions when the grip member is released.
