Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a switchable terminal device that includes a first digit having a distal end and a proximal end, a second digit moveably attached to the first digit by a first connector such that the second digit reversibly rotates around the first connector and substantially within a plane, and a lever guide having a first portion and a second portion, the lever guide attached to the second digit at least by the first connector passing through the lever guide at an angle about perpendicular to the plane. The switchable terminal device also includes a lever having a proximal end and a distal end with the proximal end of the lever moveably attached to the first portion of the lever guide by a second connector, a third connector attached near the distal end of the first digit, and an elastic cord that includes a first segment having a first end, and a second segment having a second end. Further, the first end is attached to the first portion of the lever guide, a first part of the first segment contacts the second portion of the lever guide, a second part of the first segment spans a first distance between the lever guide and the third connector, a first part of the second segment spans a second distance between the third connector and the distal end of the lever, and the second end of the elastic cord is attached to the lever.
