<p>1. A handling device of the type intended for loading on to a horizontal transporter (1), or unloading therefrom, glass plates (7) stacked in a substantially vertical position, by means of a suction-cup device (6) which is carried by a part subjected to a movement about a horizontal axis, thus effecting transfer of the plates between the stack (3) of plates and the transporter, means for positioning the suction-cups with respect to the vertical face of the stack being provided, characterized in that said part carrying the suction-cup device is formed by a drum (5) rotating about the horizontal axis, which carries radially at its periphery the suction-cup device (6) and which is integral with a mobile carriage (2) moving with a translational movement between the drive belts of a fixed transporter (1), the carriage being also provided with drive belts (4) disposed substantially in the extension of the belts of the transporter (1) so as to form therewith a continous transport structure, said means for positioning the suction-cup device being formed by a swivelling roller (8) disposed on the carriage (2), in contact with the stack (3) and controlled by a pneumatic cylinder (9) capable of positioning the drum (5) with respect to the stack (3), the suction-cups being hinged about said drum so that they may be orientated during rotation thereof, their angular position being defined by appropriate positioning cams (121 , 122 ).</p> |
