Apparatus for moving and positioning objects to be press laminated
First Claim
1. An apparatus for moving and positioning objects to be laminated inside a press, comprising:
- a tray which is arranged on a substantially horizontal plane and in which multiple seats are provided which have a substantially vertical axis;
a plurality of pins, each of which is accomodated in a respective said seat and is provided with a head which protrudes, with an end thereof, from an upper face of said tray;
a supporting surface for a lower face of an object to be positioned in the press formed by the heads of said pins, said pins being actuatable to move individually along the axis of the corresponding seat in order to pass from a raised position, in which the pins make contact with and support the object, to a lowered position, in which the pins are spaced downwardly from the object;
elastic means being provided for each of said pins and cooperating with each corresponding pin and seat in order to retain said corresponding pin in said raised position, said elastic means being flexible in order to allow transition of said pin from the raised position to the lowered position and vice versa; and
selection means which are actuatable to engage with a portion of each said pin which protrudes downwardly from said tray for actuating transition of said pin from said raised position to said lowered position.

Abstract
An apparatus for moving and positioning objects to be laminated inside a press, comprising a tray arranged on a horizontal plane and having multiple seats with vertical axis. Each seat accommodates a pin having a protruding head and forming, with their heads, a supporting surface for the object to be positioned in the press. The pins are movable along the seat axis to pass from a raised position, in contact with the object, to a lowered position, in which they are spaced downwardly from the object. The apparatus further comprises elastic wings which cooperate with each pin and seat in order to retain the pin in the raised position, and selection elements which can engage a protruding portion of each pin for the transition of the pin from the raised position to the lowered position.
