ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for changing jaw assemblies 1 on manipulators comprises a support frame having a carriage 24 movable between location blocks 30, 31 for the jaw assemblies. The carriage has an opening 29 to permit passage therethrough of a jaw assembly 1 and to receive a displaceable collar on the arm which encloses a releasable coupling between the jaw assembly and the end of the arm. The coupling is engaged or disengaged upon movement of the carriage on rods 25 relative to the location blocks and on the application of a force on the manipulator arm towards the assembly 1. The coupling may be a T-section slidable in a channel member biassed by a spring into the collar which is slidable on the arm 2.
