Wire gripper

A wire gripper comprising:

• a stationary gripping body having a wire-like body pressing-down portion;
• a swinging member swingably attached to the stationary gripping body by a supporting shaft;
• a movable gripping body swung toward the wire-like body pressing-down portion of the stationary gripping body according to swinging of the swinging member and having a wire-like body holding portion;
• a connection member connected to the swinging member by a swinging shaft and swinging the swinging member, and
• a swinging member restricting portion restricting an amount of swinging of the swinging member toward the side opposite to the side where the connection member extends, wherein
• the stationary gripping body is formed with a reinforced portion in a region thereof where a supporting shaft for attaching the swinging member is attached;
• the swinging member is provided with a front end edge from the vicinity of a supporting shaft hole in which the supporting shaft for attaching to the stationary gripping body is inserted up to the vicinity of a connection member attaching hole in which a swinging shaft for attaching the connection member is inserted between the supporting shaft hole and the connection member attaching hole;
• the front end edge of the swinging member is inclined toward a rear direction which is a direction of extension of the connection member according to coming close to the side of the connection member attaching hole;
• a connection member swinging shaft and a movable gripping body swinging shaft are positioned behind the supporting shaft in a rear direction which is a direction in which the connection member extends, the connection member swinging shaft is positioned below the supporting shaft, and the movable gripping body swinging shaft is positioned above the supporting shaft;
• the connection member extends below the wire-like body pressing-down portion of the stationary gripping body above the connection member swinging shaft;
• and
• a wire-like body clamped between the movable gripping body and the stationary gripping body is prevented from coming off between the movable gripping body whose movement amount is restricted by the swinging member restricting portion and the stationary gripping body.
