Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a device to be used with materials testing of fabrics, wherein the materials testing apparatus includes grips with opposing jaw faces. A wedge is provided which is mounted on a bracket which is attached to the grip. The wedge is used to increase surface area of the material against the jaw faces of the grips, which increases the ability of the grips to hold onto the sample/specimen/material during test. The wedge can slide in the bracket or the wedge mount can slide in the bracket to allow it to self-center itself in the grip body.
