Holder comprising resilient gripping arms for moving a packing container blank

摘要

Device for moving a packing container blank during the filling process in a packing machine. The device has a gripping head 1, which by means of two pretensioned gripping members 4 consisting of leaf springs enclasps a bottom fin 2' on the packing container 2 and moves this in the vertical direction. In the lower end position of the device, the gripping members 4 are separated mechanically by means of a control mechanism 8 so that the packing container 2 is released. The absence of bearings and joints makes the device especially suitable for use in machinery having stringent hygiene requirements.
