Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0860362A2] A device for transferring bags from a filling station to a conveyor comprises two pairs of grippers (23), co-operating with one another so as to grip the top edge of a bag and capable, upon actuation, of selectively adopting a closed position where they can grip the bag and an open position where they release the bag. The grippers (23) are mounted on a gripper carrying unit (22) attached to a shaft (15) rotatably coupled to a fixed frame (5) with a horizontal axis of rotation. The shaft (15) supporting the unit (22) is operated so as to perform an alternating oscillating movement with an amplitude of 180 DEG by means of a motor (6) and via a cam member (7) and a connecting rod (53). The grippers (23) are mounted on the unit (22) so as to remain parallel with one another during the movement of the unit itself. <IMAGE>
