Abstract
A gripper for grasping and handling textiles and other flexible materials includes an external body housing a driving unit, which actuates a plurality of sliding elements moving away and approaching symmetrically; and a plurality of gripping members, each connected to one of the sliding elements by a first transmission group that includes a kinematic chain with levers that invert motion such that, during the approaching of the sliding elements, the gripping members move away from each other, and during the distancing of the sliding elements, the gripping members approach each other.
