Abstract

Le dispositif de saisie et délivrance d'objets (5) est constitué d'un dispositif d'aspiration (36, 38, 40) associé à des moyens motorisés assurant sa montée/descente dans des colonnes (1, 2, 3) de stockage d'objets et la délivrance de ceux-ci. Il est porté par un châssis mobile (10) en assurant le déplacement entre les colonnes de stockage et les moyens de délivrance.The device for seizing and delivering objects (5) consists of a suction device (36, 38, 40) associated with motorized means ensuring its rise / fall in storage columns (1, 2, 3) of objects and the delivery thereof. It is carried by a mobile chassis (10) ensuring the movement between the storage columns and the means of delivery.

Le dispositif (5) comporte un élément (16) dont le déplacement dans un premier plan est arrêté à un niveau supérieur et qui est associé à un moyen de commande (12) par l'intermé-diaire d'un élément mobile (14). Lorsque le déplace-ment de l'élément (16) est arrêté, la poursuite de l'actionnement du moyen de commande (12) assure le déplacement de l'élé-ment mobile (14) qui force l'élément (16) à se déplacer dans un second plan, notamment à effectuer une rotation autour du moyen de commande (12).

Figure 00000001
The device (5) comprises an element (16) whose movement in a first plane is stopped at a higher level and which is associated with a control means (12) by means of a mobile element (14) . When the movement of the element (16) is stopped, the continued actuation of the control means (12) ensures the displacement of the movable element (14) which forces the element (16) to move in a second plane, in particular to rotate around the control means (12).
