    Patent number: 5692874
    Abstract: A handling device of the push-pull type for handling a load (17) disposed on a sheet-like loading unit (16) comprises a fixed portion (18) and a movable portion (19). Driven handling means (25) is present and has a first and a second operating strokes during which it translates the movable portion (19) relative to the fixed portion (18) from a retracted position to an extended position respectively, and vice versa. The movable portion (19) is provided with gripper means (15) capable of being drivingly opened and closed and intended for gripping the loading unit sheet (16) when the movable portion (19) is at the extended position and pulling the load between the extended and retracted positions. The driven handling means (25) is connected by a kinematic linkage with the gripper means (15) to cause opening and closing of the latter over at least one length of the operating strokes of said handling means.
