Load e.g. sheet, gripping apparatus for lifting apparatus, has gripping head connected to base by articulation formed of parallel axes that are orthogonal to axis of plate for permitting frontal or lateral gripping

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The apparatus (1) has several points (3) anchoring to a load, mounted on a support plate (4) and pivoting on a gripping head (2) for inclining the load. The head is connected to a base (5) by an articulation which is formed of parallel axes (6-8) orthogonal to an axis (9) of the plate for authorizing displacement of the head around the base and permitting a frontal or lateral gripping of the load. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Used in a lifting apparatus for gripping load (claimed) e.g. sheet, pane, wooden panel or load presenting smooth surface, in order to transfer load between sites. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The head is connected to the base by the articulation formed of parallel axes, thus permitting a large variety of movements for the head around the base. The load gripping apparatus presents a simple design and acts as a five axes robot. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a perspective view of a load gripping apparatus. 1 : Load gripping apparatus 2 : Gripping head 3 : Points 4 : Support plate 5 : Base 6-9 : Axes.
