<p>PURPOSE:To easily pick a predetermined number of articles which is optionally determined, by attaching an elevatable carriage having a lever which is swingable in one vertical plane, to a movable support column. CONSTITUTION:A travel column 4 transversely travels in accordance with an instruction from a computer 15, and a gripping tool 14 at the lower end of a swingable lever 8 is positioned at the take-out port of an article storage box 3. When an elevatable actuating rod 9 is lowered so that a surface detector 12 makes into press-contact with an article in the box, the actuating rod 9 comes to a stop while an absorbing pad 10 is actuated to absorb the uppermost article. When the pad 10 has completely absorbed the article, the actuating rod 9 is elevated while the swingable lever 8 is returned to its vertical position. When the pad 10 releases the article which has been absorbed until then, the article drops into an empty article storage box journalled to the fork 7. Further, the swingable rod 8 carries out picking operation in accordance with an instructed number of articles, thereby all articles on the fork are fed into the article storage box 3.</p> |
