ABSTRACT:
In a bulb centering clamp apparatus, a plurality of first parallel swing links are angularly movable vertically and are mounted above a rotary table rotatable about a vertical axis. A plurality of second parallel swing links are angularly movable vertically and are mounted below the rotary table in facing relation to the first swing links. An upper gripper is movable angularly in facing relation to one ends of the respective first swing links. The upper gripper has a gripping surface maintained horizontal. A lower gripper is movable angularly in facing relation to one ends of the respective second swing links. The lower gripper has a gripping surface maintained horizontal. A first cam mechanism inlcudes a pair of cam followers and a pair of stationary cams, for moving the upper and lower grippers toward and away from each other. The cam followers are provided respectively at the other ends of the respective first and second swing links and are abutted respectively against the stationary cams. A pair of side clamps are arranged between the upper and lower grippers. A second cam mechanism is provided for moving the pair of side clamps toward and away from each other. The second cam mechanism includes a stationary cam and a cam follower abutted against the stationary cam of the second cam mechanism and connected to the pair of side clamps.
