REMOTE CONTROL GRIPPING TOOL

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a remote control gripping tool which can easily adjust an inclination angle with respect to the axial direction of a remote control bar while gripping a gripping object. SOLUTION: The remote control gripping tool includes an angle adjusting mechanism 15 for rotating a movable holding arm 4 with a fulcrum on a fulcrum portion 19a under a condition where: a tool base 2, rotatably holding a joint member 9 connected to the leading end of the remote control bar 17, supports a stationary holding arm 3 to be pivotable via a pivot shaft 23; and an actuating member 13, having a leading end equipped with a pressing member 14 with an inclined pressing guide slope 14a on which the movable holding arm 4 is rotatably connected to the stationary holding arm 3, is caused to move back and forth from the tool base 2 with respect to the movable holding arm 4 in directions to be in contact with or out of contact from the same due to the rotation of the joint member 9 and the spherical fulcrum portion 19a of a pressure-receiving member 19, provided on the movable holding arm 4, is held in abutting on the pressing guide slope 14a nearly on the same plane as the axis of a pivot shaft 23 whereby when the stationary holding arm 3 is caused to pivot about the pivot shaft 23 on manual operation, the fulcrum portion 19a moves on the pressing guide slope 14a in rolling contact.
