Device for grasping and transporting objects and a method for finishing said objects with the aid of such a device

摘要

A device for grasping and transporting objects exhibiting at least one pair of flexible pads for grasping an object, said pads mounted facing one another on a common support which is movable relative to the object to be grasped. The pads are inflatable toward one another in such a manner as to maintain an interval between themselves in their non-inflated state slightly greater than the distance separating the two opposing faces of the object or of a relief part of the object, and to clamp the faces of the object between themselves when inflated.
