Abstract

A suction device for grasping and turning over generally parallelepipedic bodies has two suction faces for adhesion to each one of two adjoining surfaces of the body and is oscillatable relative to a carrier about a horizontal axis that is parallel to both said faces. Preferably the two suction faces are provided on a pair of separate but jointly oscillatable suction head members which are adjustable relative to each other.
