ABSTRACT:
A pick-up device for automatic lifting and conveying apparatus has a plurality of pick-up members (5), preferably of the suction type, each of which is intended to take hold of a respective article in an array of rows arranged in at least one direction. The device includes a plurality of generally elongate and mutually parallel support members (4) which are intended to be oriented in the direction of the rows of articles in use. Each support member (4) carries an associated respective row of pick-up members (5) extending longitudinally of the member itself. A drive (9) enables the distance between adjacent support members (4) to be varied so as to allow them to be adapted selectively to the spacing between the rows of articles. More particularly, this distance may be varied while the device is transferring the articles supported by the pick-up members (5) to a package so as to adapt the separation between the rows of articles to the dimensions of the package itself. Provision is made for the possibility of selectively varying the distance between the pick-up members (5) of each support member (4).
