  • Gripping device for handling items or components of different shape and size
    Patent number: 11794337
    Abstract: A gripping device has at least one tendon associated with a gripping arm and guided in a freely slidable manner along a first and second arm portion thereof through a succession of guiding elements. The guiding elements associated with a first proximal arm portion of the arms are carried by an inner yielding panel so that when the inner yielding panel on the inner side of the first proximal arm portion engages against an item or component to be gripped, the guiding elements of the tendon carried by the inner yielding panel cause a tensioning of the tendon, which results in an articulation and/or inflection movement of a second distal arm portion with respect to the first proximal arm portion.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 26, 2021
    Date of Patent: October 24, 2023
    Assignee: C.R.F. SOCIETA CONSORTILE PER AZIONI

  • Gripper
    Patent number: 9089973
    Abstract: A gripper for grasping and handling textiles and other flexible materials includes an external body housing a driving unit, which actuates a plurality of sliding elements moving away and approaching symmetrically; and a plurality of gripping members, each connected to one of the sliding elements by a first transmission group that includes a kinematic chain with levers that invert motion such that, during the approaching of the sliding elements, the gripping members move away from each other, and during the distancing of the sliding elements, the gripping members approach each other.
