ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR PLANT GRIPPING

摘要

Method and assembly (11) for plant gripping. By means of an device (1) comprising two gripping jaws (4,5) hinged to each other and oblong of design, plants (10) are taken from a tray (15) or the like and put into another tray (14) or the like. The plants (10) are approached and gripped sideways, i.e. essentially perpendicularly to the direction of the main stems of the plants (10). The gripping jaws (4,5) turn on a common pivot (3) and by a pin acting from above they are forced outwards, against the operation of a spring (12) force. This particularly simple construction is insusceptible to contamination and moisture.
