Abstract
A grip device has an element that can be moved in relation to fixed element between an open position and a closed position in which the two elements are adapted in such a way as to grip a wall, a displacement device which enables the displacement of the mobile element and the adjustment of the distance separating the two elements in a closed position to the thickness of the gripped wall, and a blocking device, which are adapted in such a way as to immobilize the mobile element in the adjusted closed position. The blocking device can be moved between a release position and a blocking position in which they immobilize the mobile element by friction in the adjusted closed position.

A detachable grip device comprising a grip body, a mobile element that forms a grip that can move in a longitudinal direction with respect to a fixed element that forms a second grip supported by the grip body, between an open position and a closed position in which the first and second grips are adapted to grip a lateral wall of a kitchen utensil, movement means that are adapted to be manually commanded between an opening position and a closing position for moving the mobile element that forms the first grip from its open position to its closed position when the grips change from their opening position to their closing position, and which are conformed so that, when the grips are in their closing position, the distance separating the first and second grips in the closed position corresponds to a thickness of the lateral gripped wall, and blocking means for blocking the mobile element that forms the first grip in its closed adjusted position, the blocking means being mobile on the grip body according to a direction of friction that is perpendicular to a main direction between a releasing position in which the blocking means do not obstruct the movement of the mobile element that forms the first grip and a blocking position in which the blocking means immobilize the first step in its closed adjusted position by friction.
