Abstract
The open end of the shaft (10) of the slave arm of a telemanipulator carries two fixed hooks (50) able to encircle two spindles (52) projecting on either side of a toggle joint (16) supporting a gripper (18). Hooks (50) and spindles (52) form a pivot axis, which is displaced from the side of the pivot pin (34) of the gripper with respect to a plane parallel to the pivot axix and containing the longitudinal axis of shaft (10a). On the side of the plane opposite to the hooks (50) and the spindles (52), a latch (54) locks the case (16a) to the end of the shaft, thus, formed coupling device (15).
