    摘要: The subject of the invention relates to a tool for manipulating a plurality of plugs, taking the form of a comb (1) comprising:

    a body (7) provided with a row of teeth (4) having pointed distal portions (4p) spaced apart in a linear direction in order to engage with the cavities of the plugs;
    a system for separating the plugs from the teeth (4) that comprises a slide returned elastically and guided to slide with respect to the body (7) in a direction parallel to the direction of extension of the teeth, the slide being provided with the fingers of the comb, which are movable by sliding between the teeth (4), and a control (11a) accessible from a first portion (1a) of the comb and which, when pressed to move translationally, causes the fingers of the comb to slide in the direction of the pointed distal portions (4p) in order to eject the plugs from the teeth (4).
