ABSTRACT:
A device for handling a stack of flexible articles, such as magazines comprises a bearing plate for receiving the stack of articles which either has an arched central portion or a deflecting bar for holding a stack of articles thereon in an arched location with the ends lowered in the central portion. Associated with the bearing plate is a gripping mechanism which includes gripping arms which are mounted for movement toward and away from respective ends of the articles to be gripped. Each of the gripping arms includes a holding finger which may be rotated between a horizontal position in which the fingers will engage below each end of the articles or to a vertical position in which the articles are released. When the fingers engage horizontally below the ends of the articles the gripping mechanism may be lifted to lift the articles off the bearing plate. When the articles are transferred to a stacking station, the arms may be moved outwardly from the articles and the fingers move to a vertical position so that the articles will be dropped onto the stacking pile.
