ABSTRACT

The device is used in conjunction with a step-driven conveyor featuring an
upper surface where seats for receiving blister packs are placed with
transverse portions of each blister packs protruding symmetrically from the
relative seat. At a station where these seats stop one after the other, there
is a vertical magazine, open below, centered with respect to the station and
containing a stack of blister packs supported by spring-operated retaining
means. Below the magazine, there are two arms one on each side of the upper
surface, equipped above with suction cups, and vertically movable in a
synchronous manner. Actuation of the arms, combined with action of the suction
cups, enables a blister pack to be transferred from a seat present at the
station to the magazine, and vice versa.
