GRIPPING DEVICE FOR MAGNETIC DISKETTES Abstract of the Disclosure A gripping or picker device, particularly for a jacketed magnetic disk or diskette, comprising a pair of arms extending along each other and fixed with respect to a common support and having outwardly diverg- ing cam surfaces on their distal ends to provide a throat into which an article may be thrust. One of the arms has a flat leaf spring por- tion for moving the arms together, and the arms have plane substan- tially parallel facing surfaces connected with said cam surfaces for gripping the article frictionally when the article is thrust between the arms. One of the cam surfaces extends farther toward the common support than the other so that it faces the plane support surface of the other arm, and one of the arms has a stop portion abutting the other arm to limit the approaching movement of the arms toward each other to a distance which is equal to or greater than the thickness of the article to be gripped. A portion of one of the plane surfaces which is opposite the cam surface of the other arm engages the diskette as th picker device is drawn off of the diskette to provide a fric- tional effect thereon so that the arms do not squeeze the article out from between the arms.
