Abstract
The present invention concerns a device for taking containers out of a pile, comprising a magazine formed of a row of articulated parallelograms and, under this magazine, two superimposed rows of deformable parallelograms which are actuatable independently from each other to take the containers out of the pile and which can conform to any container shape or dimension.
Claims5
A device for taking containers such as cups out of at least one pile, comprising:
- a supporting frame including openings through which said containers can pass;
- a magazine comprising at least a first deformable parallelogram linkage hinged on and above said frame and including four hinged links hingedly connected to one another to conform to any shape and dimension of containers therebetween;
- means for taking the containers one by one from the pile of containers in the magazine, comprising at least second and third superimposed deformable parallelogram linkages hinged on and underneath said frame, each of the second and third linkages including four hinged links hingedly connected to one another to conform to any shape and dimension of containers therebetween;
- and
- means for controlling the deformation of said first, second and third deformable parallelogram linkages simultaneously and independently from each other.
