ABSTRACT:
An article handler having a plurality of compartments in a frame with each compartment having a plurality of ribs extending across the compartments. The ribs in adjacent compartments extend perpendicularly to each other to provide resistance against warping of the frame in both directions, thereby maintaining the frame flat. The compartments are covered by filters. Suction is distributed throughout each compartment. When the filters are positioned in proximity to articles, the suction in the compartments is effective to lift the articles.
