  • Patent number: 9193538
    Abstract: A gripper arm for a gripping device for grasping, holding and guiding containers, comprises at least one rotatably mounted control cam, the control cam designed and disposed such that the gripper arm can be moved from at least one first position into at least one second position and/or vice versa, wherein the gripper arm comprises at least one bore hole for at least partially receiving a bearing pin, wherein the bearing pin is designed such that the gripper arm can pivot in the gripping device, and wherein the gripper arm further comprises at least one seating for a closing means configured such that it can move the gripper arm from the second position into the first position and/or vice versa, and wherein the gripper arm comprises at least one gripping section at least partially of fork-like form. A gripping device, a transport mechanism and a transport system is also provided.

  • Patent number: 9102479
    Abstract: A gripper arm, and a method for its manufacture, is provided for grasping, holding and guiding objects, for example, bottle-like containers. A rotatably mounted control cam may move a gripping section of the gripper arm from an open position into a gripping position. The gripper arm may have a bore hole for supporting a bearing pin for pivotably mounting the gripper arm, a seating for an opening structure for moving the gripping section of the gripper arm from the gripping position into the open position, and a suspension structure for cushioning and equalizing the force and deflection exerted on the gripper arm by the control cam. So that the gripper arm remains sufficiently free of contaminants and germs, the suspension structure may include a spring bar integrally formed in an end section of the gripper arm body.

  • Publication number: 20140232126
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a gripper arm, and a method for its manufacture, for a device for grasping, holding and guiding in particular bottle-like containers which comprises a rotatably mounted control cam for moving a gripping section of the gripper arm from an open position into a gripping position, having a bore hole for supporting a bearing pin for pivotably mounting the gripper arm in the device, a seating for an opening means for moving the gripping section of the gripper arm from the gripping position into the open position, and a suspension means for cushioning and equalizing the force and/or deflection exerted on the gripper arm by the control cam. So that the gripper arm remains sufficiently free of contaminants and germs and is thus unproblematic to clean, the suspension means comprises a spring bar integrally formed in an end section of the gripper arm body.
