Process and device for taking away the cover of a petri dish

摘要

The mechanism (14) is for the removal of the lid (12d) of a Petri dish (12), where the dish has a base (12b) and a cylindrical side wall (12c). A lid grip (67) lifts the dish lid from the lower body (12a) of the dish with a grip around the lid edge (12e), while a lower guide (66) moves the dish . The lid lifting and dish movement are at diverging angles, so that the lid is raised at an increasing angle from the horizontal.
