Abstract

Tweezer apparatus for us in the making of stuffed articles. The apparatus comprises an elongated body member having a pair of generally parallel leg members that are cantilever supported so that they can be moved toward and away from each other to enable the tip ends of the leg members to grasp and then release stuffing material. The tip of one leg member is pointed so that it can be used to poke stuffing into niches in stuffed objects. The tip end of the other leg member terminates in a blunt surface to enable use of this leg member to pack stuffing into objects to be stuffed.
