Abstract
A device for conveying discrete entities, including a rotary support bearing a telescopic transfer arm having a multi-directional head. The extension of the arm and the orientation of the gripper head are controlled by cams according to the angular position of the arm around the axis of rotation (A0) of the support. The extension of the arm and the orientation of the gripper head are controlled by a single tipper which is hinged on the outer radial part of the arm and which includes two cam followers which cooperate with an independent cam path.
