Abstract
Abstract Medical forceps are described which have a fixed jaw part and swingable jaw part with which parts a fixed handle part and a swingable handle part respectively are associated. In order to limit the pressure force which can be produced on the jaw parts, the swingable grip part is divided into two parts which are undetachably connected on a line with each other by a flexural spring element. For the fixing of the gripping position of the jaw parts detent elements which come into detachable engagement with each other are provided on the grip parts.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
85 words
Medical forceps having a fixed jaw part with which a fixed grip part is associated and a moveable jaw part which is actuatable by means of a swingable grip part, the latter being coupled with the moveable jaw part via a spring member which limits the actuating force, characterized by the fact that the swingable grip part (5) consists of two parts (9 and 10) which are in line with each other and are undetachably connected to each other by a flexural spring element (11).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
85 words
Medical forceps having a fixed jaw part with which a fixed grip part is associated and a moveable jaw part which is actuatable by means of a swingable grip part, the latter being coupled with the moveable jaw part via a spring member which limits the actuating force, characterized by the fact that the swingable grip part (5) consists of two parts (9 and 10) which are in line with each other and are undetachably connected to each other by a flexural spring element (11).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
Forceps according to claim 1, characterized by the fact that a safety stop which limits the deflection of the flexural spring element (11) is provided.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
47 words
Forceps according to claim 1 or 2, characterized by the fact that the outer part (10) of the swingable grip part (5) as well as the grip part (6) fixed are provided with handles and equipped with detent elements (7 and 8) which correspond to each other.
