ABSTRACT

An air suction, or vacuum, lifter for moving goods in non-rigid packaging such
as sacks or the like; it consists of two air suction compartments, the smaller
of which is contained within the larger one. Such chambers are open on the
side which comes into contact with the package to be lifted and the lower
edges of their side walls are equipped with an air-tight seal with the surface
of said packages. Conduits and parts are provided for connecting, directly or
indirectly, the air chambers with a source of vacuum and if necessary with
each other.
