Title:
Compliers®
Purpose of the Design: The Compliers® are designed
to conveniently remove fishhooks. They are a compliant mechanism;
that is, portions of the mechanism flex while others remain rigid.
When the rigid handles are squeezed, flexural joints transfer the
forces and motions to the jaws. The jaws firmly grasp the hook to
remove it from the fish. The pliers' high mechanical advantage make
it much easier and safer to remove hooks. The fishhook remover is
molded as a complete mechanism and requires no assembly.
