Abstract
The present invention discloses a gripper comprising a gripper body with an inner surface defining a tooth plane. The gripper includes a front tooth extending from the tooth plane with a front height, a middle tooth extending from the tooth plane with a middle height, and a back tooth extending from the tooth plane with a back height. The front height is equal to the back height, while the middle height is less than either the front height or the back height. This unique gripper configuration enhances gripping efficiency and stability in various applications requiring precise handling and manipulation.
