ABSTRACT:
A device for picking up articles from a supply station and inserting the articles into a container, comprising: at least an operating head, provided with a group of depression-activated gripping units, each of which is shaped in a special format to pick up and retain a corresponding article; control devices, which verify a presence of an article at each of the gripping units; movement organs which cause the operating head to perform outward and return runs, respectively from a picking up station of the articles to a release station of the articles, situated nearby the container, and vice versa; a conveyor device, provided at the release station, above the opening of the container, and destined to be interposed between the opening and the operating head to guide insertion of the articles into the container; enabling organs, activated in a phase relation with the movement organs, for activating the gripping units at the supply station in order for a corresponding number of articles to be picked up by the use of the gripping units, and for deactivating the gripping units at the release station, thus disengaging the articles from the gripping units and causing the articles to fall into the conveyor device located there below.
