ABSTRACT:
In the packaging art, palletizers (23) serve for transporting, i.e. lifting, conveying and depositing cartons (10) and the like. A gripper (27) is located on an articulated arm (24) and is provided with upright carrying arms (29, 30) and carrying legs (31, 32) arranged thereon for grasping the cartons (10) at their bottom side. The carrying legs can be pivoted from a horizontally directed carrying position to an essentially vertical release position which allows a trouble-free lifting of the gripper after a carton has been deposited, even if there is little space. The carrying arms 29, 30 of the gripper 27 are themselves pivotable from an essentially upright position to an inclined position in which they are spread apart in order to be able to grasp cartons when the carrying legs (31, 32) are horizontally directed.
