Claims5
A device for manipulating objects, including a manipulator having at least one arm, a coupling piece including sliding bolts for releasing an interlocking mechanism, wherein said interlocking mechanism is positioned between said coupling piece and a handling device having channels molded therein, and a magazine for receiving said handling device, wherein the magazine includes a magazine opening, rails for engaging the sliding bolts and two substantially parallel guides to which the rails are molded, wherein the channels are shaped complementary to the shape of the guides to receive the guides while the handling device is in the magazine, wherein the magazine opening is funnel shaped as defined by a separation between the two rails and between the guides, wherein the separation of the two rails and the guides narrows in a direction extending from the magazine opening into the magazine, and wherein each sliding bolt is located in a transverse hole extending transversely to a longitudinal axis of the coupling piece, the interlocking mechanism of the coupling piece including a chamber and a latch, wherein the chamber extends transversely to the longitudinal axis and the latch extends through the chamber below the transverse hole.
