Abstract
A structure to be grasped in which a member can be grasped by a pair of grasping portions having respective grasping recesses of the same shape. A clutch member has rotation-limiting ribs and seating ribs formed on and projecting from a clutch body, and each set of a rotation-limiting rib and a seating rib are arranged on an imaginary straight line L. When a pair of chuck members of a grasping device are moved away from each other along an imaginary straight line Lcoinciding with the imaginary straight line L, the clutch member is grasped by the pair of chuck members. Although the rotation-limiting ribs and the seating ribs are different in shape from each other in order to meet their respective functional requirements, chucked portions of the rotation-limiting rib and seating rib, for fitting into the respective grasping recesses of the chuck members, have substantially the same shape.
