Abstract
A workpiece is quickly fixed and released without using a driving device. A workpiece fixing tool includes: a pair of grip members that are disposed so as to face each other in a substantially horizontal direction and that can open and close in an opposite direction in which the grip members face each other, the grip members gripping a workpiece therebetween in a closed state; and urging members that urge the pair of grip members in closing directions. The pair of grip members have inclined faces facing each other, the inclined faces forming an angle with respect to each other such that a distance therebetween in the opposite direction in which the inclined faces face each other gradually decreases from upper side to lower side.
