Abstract

Apparatus for gripping panels or stacks of panels during cutting thereof, comprising a series of identical mechanical grippers grouped side by side in battery formation. The grippers are each formed by two vertically superposed levers (1, 6) acting along a vertical plane, interconnected at a common fulcrum point (7) and urged in the closing direction by a spring (9) and in the opening direction by a centralized mechanical system comprising a shaft (10) which cooperates transversely with the upper levers (6), which is supported by the same structure as the grippers and which may be selectively raised and lowered by one central motion unit (13).
