摘要:
An article comprising: a housing comprising: i. a barrel portion, wherein a shaft capable of unidirectional or bidirectional movement is disposed within the barrel portion; wherein the shaft comprises a proximal end and a distal end; and wherein a pair of jaws is located at the distal end of the shaft; and ii. a plurality of controllers, wherein a jaw latch selector located under the barrel portion, connected to a shaft binder, is adapted for selecting between unidirectional and bidirectional movement of the shaft; and wherein a jaw controller located under the barrel portion is adapted to open and close the pair of jaws at the distal end of the shaft by movement of the shaft; wherein the shaft binder located in the barrel portion, disposed about the shaft, is connected to the jaw latch selector so that the shaft binder either binds upon the shaft to restrict movement of the shaft to unidirectional distal movement or does not bind upon the shaft so that the shaft moves bidirectionally; wherein the jaw controller and the jaw latch selector can be operated by fingers of the hand holding the housing; and wherein the shaft binder comprises a top portion and a bottom portion, wherein the top portion is held in a fixed position by the housing.
