Abstract
A transferring and loading device for honeycomb structures including a movable hollow arm having a suction duct communicating with suction means, a perforated plate secured to an end of the movable hollow arm, and movable arm driving means for rotating said movable arm. The honeycomb structure clings thereto by sucking atmospheric air into the suction duct through passages of the honeycomb structure and the perforated plate and attracting the honeycomb structure to the perforated plate by means of the suction means having exhaust capacity larger than the suction of atmospheric air. In this manner, the device can rapidly handle the honeycomb structures without applying any undue force to the honeycomb structures and at the same time can remove the dust and ground chips produced in previous grinding process without using any dust collector.
