Two equal non-intersecting wooden disks, one gray and one black, are glued to a plane. A triangle with one gray side and one black side can be moved along the plane so that the disks remain outside the triangle, while the colored sides of the triangle are tangent to the disks of the same color (the tangency points are not the vertices). Prove that the line that contains the bisector of the angle between the gray and black sides always passes through some fixed point of the plane.
