## Abstract

A dual ended tweezer a first lateral arm and a second lateral arm connected by a connecting arm. The connecting arm acts as a transversal between the first lateral arm and the second lateral arm, which are parallel, thus forming a “Z” shape. A first pinching tip pair is connected at a first end and a second pinching tip pair is connected at a second end to the lateral arms. The first and second pinching tip pair may be embodied as any of a variety of tweezer tip types, providing a number of different combinations of dual tweezer functionality.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A multifunction/double ended tweezer comprises:
a first lateral arm;
a second lateral arm;
a connecting arm;
a first pinching tip pair;
a second pinching tip pair;
a first end;
a second end;
a central axis;
the first pinching tip pair and the second pinching tip pair each comprise a first tip and a second tip;
the first lateral arm and the second lateral arm being oriented parallel to each other and the central axis;
the first lateral arm and the second lateral arm being positioned equidistantly opposite each other about the central axis;
the connecting arm being connected at an arm connecting angle to the first lateral arm and the second lateral arm;
the first end and the second end being positioned opposite each other along the central axis;
the first tip of the first pinching tip pair being connected to the first lateral arm at the first end;
the second tip of the first pinching tip pair being connected to the second lateral arm at the first end;
the first tip of the second pinching tip pair being connected to the first lateral arm at the second end;
the second tip of the second pinching tip pair being connected to the second lateral arm at the second end; and
the first pinching tip pair being a slanted tweezer end pair.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The multifunction tweezer as claimed in claim 1 comprises:
the connecting arm being connected to the first lateral arm adjacent to the first end; and
the connecting arm being connected to the second lateral arm adjacent to the second end.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The multifunction tweezer as claimed in claim 1 comprises:
the first lateral arm and the second lateral arm each comprise a first side and a second side;
the first side and the second side being oriented parallel to the central axis;
the first side and the second side being positioned opposite each other on the first lateral arm and the second lateral arm;
the connecting arm being connected to the second side of the first lateral arm; and
the connecting arm being connected to the first side of the second lateral arm.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The multifunction tweezer as claimed in claim 3 comprises:
the first side and the second side of the first lateral arm and the second lateral arm being flat.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)
