Abstract
An apparatus for transferring objects is disclosed. The apparatus comprises an object take-off roller () equipped with members () for individually gripping objects. The apparatus comprises at least a linear actuator (), placed in the interior volume defined by the roller. This actuator () moves a gripping member () with its free end movable between a folded position and a deployed position. In this last position, this free end contacts a gripping member (). This actuator () being rotationally mobile between an engaged position and a disengaged position, is freely moved between these positions when it comes into contact with another gripping member () in its rest position. A return member () returns the actuator to its engaged position when its free end is in a position in which it is not able to interact with a gripping member () in its rest position.
