ABSTRACT

The present invention relates to a vacuum manipulation device having a lifter
hose, which can be connected to a vacuum-generating device, and a suction
gripper device, which can be placed on an object to be manipulated and with
which the object can be drawn up by suction and lifted by contracting the
lifter hose, the suction gripper device has a prestressed regulating member on
its suction side, which is actuated by placing the suction gripper device on
the object and which thereby unblocks a flow cross-section, so that the object
can be drawn up by suction. To prevent the abrupt upward acceleration of the
suction gripper device, the regulating member can be arrested in its actuated
position, so that in case of the release of a drawn-up object from the suction
side of the suction gripper device the flow cross-section is not again
blocked, and in this way the abrupt upward acceleration of the suction gripper
device is prevented.
