ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for simultaneously pinching a plurality of elongated bags disposed in parallel, side by side relation with one another and transferring the bags. The apparatus includes a gripper mechanism arranged to pinch each bag at two longitudinally spaced locations thereon and devices for moving the gripper mechanism while the bags are pinchingly thereby. Sensing devices are provided to detect the state of pinched engagement of the bags with the gripper mechanism. If one or more of the bags is not pinched or is improperly pinched by the gripper mechanism, the transfer motion is arrested to prevent damage to the bag or the apparatus. The apparatus can be utilized to remove paper bags containing stacks of metal can lids from boxes.
