Abstract
An apparatus for handling a plurality of elongated tubular bodies each having a small-diameter neck and a large-diameter shaft has a pair of support plates formed with respective similar arrays of throughgoing openings generally complementary to the section of the shafts of the bodies and spacers supporting the plates parallel to and spaced from each other with the openings arranged pairwise with one opening of each plate aligned along a respective axis with a respective opening of the other plate so that the bodies can be held therein. A stop plate parallel to and spaced from the support plates is formed with stop openings in an array like the openings of the support plates. A guide supports the stop plate parallel to and at a spacing from the support plates for sliding the stop plate parallel to the support plates between a loading position with the stop-plate openings aligned axially with the support-plate openings and the syringe bodies freely axially movable through the stop-plate openings and a blocking position with the stop-plate openings bearing radially of the axes on the small-diameter necks of the syringe bodies and retaining same against axial movement in the respective openings.
