FIELD: combination type mechanisms with complex motion of outlet links.

SUBSTANCE: apparatus includes combination type mechanism having handling mechanism with outlet link, actuating mechanisms with driving link and outlet links provided with jaws for gripping articles and drive unit. Driving link of actuating mechanism serves as outlet link of handling mechanism. Outlet links of actuating mechanism are jointly connected with outlet link of handling mechanism and in addition they are kinematically connected with it. Said kinematic connection includes additional slider movably joined with outlet link, connecting rods (each connecting rod is jointly connected with additional slider and respective outlet link), stationary contour followers with shaped profiles for engaging with additional slider. Additional slider is joined with outlet link by means of elastic member in the form of compression spring. One end of spring is secured to outlet link, its other end is joined with slider for fixing the last in limit position corresponding to closed position of jaws.

EFFECT: simplified design, enhanced operational accuracy and efficiency of apparatus.
