Abstract
The present invention relates to handling devices for handling foodstuffs, which may include a suction cup and a docking piece supporting the suction cup. The suction cup may be removably attached to the docking piece. The docking piece may include a drive nozzle inserted into the suction cup, and attached to the docking piece, for ejecting a fluid from the drive nozzle inside of the suction cup. The suction cup may include a drive opening for receiving the drive nozzle of the docking piece, and an outlet nozzle having at least one constriction. The outlet nozzle is aligned with the drive nozzle so that the drive nozzle and the outlet nozzle cooperate to form an ejector. The ejector then applies a suction force to the surface of the foodstuff which is to be handled.
