What is claimed is: 1. A grasping tool which is attached to a device, the tool comprising: a main body which is provided with two extending portions extending out in substantially the same direction and a connecting portion that connects respective one-side ends of the two extending portions; and a reinforcement portion that connects and reinforces the two extending portions at a position different from that of the connecting portion, wherein the main body and the reinforcement portion include an attachment portion that attaches the grasping tool to the device, the device includes a plurality of legs that come into contact with an installation surface, and the main body includes a fixing portion that fixes the plurality of legs detached from the device. 2. The grasping tool according to claim 1 , wherein the main body includes a curved portion which is curved in a direction away from the device. 3. The grasping tool according to claim 2 , wherein the device includes a metal frame body within an exterior housing, and the grasping tool is fixed to the metal frame body. 4. A projector comprising: a device which is provided with a light source device, a light modulation device that modulates light emitted from the light source device, a projection optical device that projects the light modulated by the light modulation device, and an exterior housing that receives the light source device, the light modulation device and the projection optical device; and the grasping tool according to claim 3 , wherein the exterior housing includes a bottom portion facing an installation surface of the projector, and a ceiling portion which is located on an opposite side of the bottom portion, and the grasping tool is attached to at least one of the ceiling portion and the bottom portion. 5. A projector comprising: a device which is provided with a light source device, a light modulation device that modulates light emitted from the light source device, a projection optical device that projects the light modulated by the light modulation device, and an exterior housing that receives the light source device, the light modulation device and the projection optical device; and the grasping tool according to claim 2 , wherein the exterior housing includes a bottom portion facing an installation surface of the projector, and a ceiling portion which is located on an opposite side of the bottom portion, and the grasping tool is attached to at least one of the ceiling portion and the bottom portion. 6. The grasping tool according to claim 1 , wherein the device includes a metal frame body within an exterior housing, and the grasping tool is fixed to the metal frame body. 7. A projector comprising: a device which is provided with a light source device, a light modulation device that modulates light emitted from the light source device, a projection optical device that projects the light modulated by the light modulation device, and an exterior housing that receives the light source device, the light modulation device and the projection optical device; and the grasping tool according to claim 6 , wherein the exterior housing includes a bottom portion facing an installation surface of the projector, and a ceiling portion which is located on an opposite side of the bottom portion, and the grasping tool is attached to at least one of the ceiling portion and the bottom portion. 8. A projector comprising: a device which is provided with a light source device, a light modulation device that modulates light emitted from the light source device, a projection optical device that projects the light modulated by the light modulation device, and an exterior housing that receives the light source device, the light modulation device and the projection optical device; and the grasping tool according to claim 1 , wherein the exterior housing includes a bottom portion facing an installation surface of the projector, and a ceiling portion which is located on an opposite side of the bottom portion, and the grasping tool is attached to at least one of the ceiling portion and the bottom portion. 9. A grasping tool which is attached to a device, the tool comprising: a main body which is provided with two extending portions extending out in substantially the same direction and a connecting portion that connects respective one-side ends of the two extending portions; and a reinforcement portion that connects and reinforces the two extending portions at a position different from that of the connecting portion, wherein the main body and the reinforcement portion include an attachment portion that attaches the grasping tool to the device, the device includes a metal frame body within an exterior housing, and the grasping tool is fixed to the metal frame body. 10. The grasping tool according to claim 9 , wherein the main body includes a curved portion which is curved in a direction away from the device. 11. The grasping tool according to claim 10 , wherein the device includes a plurality of legs that come into contact with an installation surface, and the main body includes a fixing portion that fixes the plurality of legs detached from the device. 12. A projector comprising: a device which is provided with a light source device, a light modulation device that modulates light emitted from the light source device, a projection optical device that projects the light modulated by the light modulation device, and an exterior housing that receives the light source device, the light modulation device and the projection optical device; and the grasping tool according to claim 11 , wherein the exterior housing includes a bottom portion facing an installation surface of the projector, and a ceiling portion which is located on an opposite side of the bottom portion, and the grasping tool is attached to at least one of the ceiling portion and the bottom portion. 13. A projector comprising: a device which is provided with a light source device, a light modulation device that modulates light emitted from the light source device, a projection optical device that projects the light modulated by the light modulation device, and an exterior housing that receives the light source device, the light modulation device and the projection optical device; and the grasping tool according to claim 10 , wherein the exterior housing includes a bottom portion facing an installation surface of the projector, and a ceiling portion which is located on an opposite side of the bottom portion, and the grasping tool is attached to at least one of the ceiling portion and the bottom portion. 14. The grasping tool according to claim 9 , wherein the device includes a plurality of legs that come into contact with an installation surface, and the main body includes a fixing portion that fixes the plurality of legs detached from the device. 15. A projector comprising: a device which is provided with a light source device, a light modulation device that modulates light emitted from the light source device, a projection optical device that projects the light modulated by the light modulation device, and an exterior housing that receives the light source device, the light modulation device and the projection optical device; and the grasping tool according to claim 14 , wherein the exterior housing includes a bottom portion facing an installation surface of the projector, and a ceiling portion which is located on an opposite side of the bottom portion, and the grasping tool is attached to at least one of the ceiling por
