This finished device to be made of plastic or any metal. It consists of 2 pieces: a base and the top claw fastened together at the back with pins inserted into springs which allow for up and down movement of the top claw. There is also an internal retention spring.

The Claw operates wherein a writing utensil or small tool (medical etc.) is inserted from either the right or left side into the round area between the top claw and the base.
