Abstract
A pot gripper comprises a first lever and a second lever joined at a fulcrum. The first lever has a first jaw extending from the fulcrum, and the second lever has a second jaw extending from the fulcrum. The first jaw and the second jaw define a clamping area for a pot when the first lever and the second lever are rotated from an open position into a closed position. The first jaw has at least one support slot, the support slot being shaped to fit to the contour of a gripping area of the pot to be held in the clamping area. The first lever has a first locking feature and the second lever has a second locking feature. The first locking feature engages with the second locking feature in the closed position so that the first lever and the second lever are locked in the closed position.
