Abstract: A device is adapted for preventing damage on products (4), preferably paper-rolls, which should not be bumped into when fetched and/or delivered by a transport vehicle (1) having a hoisting unit (2) with a transfer device (3) which is moveable relative to said hoisting unit such that it is relocated and adapted to the product when pressed thereagainst by the transport vehicle, whereby the product preferably may be sucked onto a suction device forming part of the transfer device. In order to prevent damage to the edges of the product when it is fetched or delivered, the device includes a locking device (8) which, after that the transfer device (3) has adapted to the product and said product preferably is sucked onto the suction device, locks the transfer device relative to the hoisting unit (2) in order to prevent forward tilting of the transfer device and the product thereon when said product is lifted and/or transported and/or delivered.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for permitting adaptation of a suction pad (6) to the outer shape of products (1) to be lifted, whereby at least two brackets (13, 19) via links are pivotally connected to a carrying member (8), whereby at each bracket via links are pivotally arranged at least two supports (17, 18 and 23, 24) on which the suction pad is provided and whereby the supports are movable relative to each other. For the supports (17 and/or 23) to provide such a large degree of rotation that the suction pad (6) can adapt to products in the form of paper rolls (1) with substantially different diameters, one of the brackets (13, 19) is rotatably mounted on the carrying member (8) through a double link (11a, 11b) in order to permit a large degree of rotation between the bracket (13) and the carrying member (8) whereby one (17 and/or 23) of the supports (17, 18, 23, 24 ) is provided on each bracket (13 and/or 19) through a double link (15a, 15b and/or 21a, 21b).
