Abstract
The present invention pertains to a handling device ( ) for one or more clamping frames ( ) for components ( ), especially shells of vehicles, in processing stations ( ). The handling device ( ) has one or more rotatably driven connecting rods ( ), which are mounted in a carriage ( ) that can be moved by a motor along a transfer line ( ) at one of their ends and have a holding device ( ) for receiving the clamping frame ( ) at their other ends. Two connecting rods ( ), which are arranged in two coupled carriages ( ) in the manner of a four-bar chain and are rotatable around parallel axes ( ), are preferably present. The handling device preferably generates a feed movement of the clamping frames ( ) which is essentially linear and is directed at right angles to the transfer line ( ).
