Abstract
An adapter is provided for a device which is used to pick up and transport objects. The device has a number of fingers which extend from a hollow piston. The adapter has an engaging portion which is inserted into the piston; a stopping piece for preventing the engaging piece from being inserted too far into the piston; and a receiving piece which has a cavity for receiving an object. The receiving piece and stopping piece each have openings which allow the fingers to pass through and grip the object while in the cavity.
