Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005061353
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for handling, in essence, rod-shaped objects, particularly rods comprised of articles stacked inside one another in a manner that enables them to be separated, such as plastic cups during loading processes in conjunction with a loading aid, particularly a box. To this end, the objects to be handled are prepared by a manufacturing or processing machine in a first geometric arrangement. At least a portion of the objects are firstly grasped, an arrangement of the objects relative to one another is subsequently modified, and the modified arrangement of the objects is then placed into the loading aid during which the objects are arranged in an upright manner. The invention also relates to a device suited for carrying out said method.
