A cap attachment-detachment device includes an operation portion that moves in an up-and-down direction, and grips and rotates a cap so as to attach the cap to or attach the cap from a container. The operation portion includes a first grip claw, a second grip claw and the pressing member. The first grip claw and the second grip claw are provided to be opposite to each other and configured to be capable of applying an obliquely upward force inwardly to an upper portion of a side surface of the cap. The pressing member is configured to be capable of coming into contact with an upper surface of the cap.

A laboratory capper, decapper or combination capper/decapper includes a deck containing with a nest designed to hold an SBS-formatted tube storage rack, and a bit exchange magazine assembly containing one or more sets of adapter bits. The adapter bits are mounted on and unloaded from motor driven fittings, and are exchanged in order to cap or decap laboratory sample tubes or vials that have different head configurations. The bit exchange magazine assembly enables the bit to be exchanged robotically.

A rotatable gripper serves to grip and turn a container cap. The gripper has a rotatably mounted collet clamp. In a locked operating position, the cap can be clamped and turned in the collet clamp, and in an unlocked operating position, the cap can be released from the collet clamp. The collet clamp is of an elongate configuration with a first and a second end, the first end comprising a substantially rigid section and the second end comprising a gripper section. The gripper section contains a substantially cylindrical recess that serves to hold the cap, wherein the recess is designed to expand in width when the operating position is changed from locked to unlocked. A clamping section is arranged between the gripper section and the rigid section of the collet clamp. The gripper section and the clamping section have an inside surface and an outside surface, wherein the outside surface of the clamping section has the shape of a cone whose width increases towards the gripper section). The cone is capable of being deformed, so that in the locked operating position the deformable cone can be compressed by means of a ring that is slidable on the cone, whereby the recess can be constricted in such a way that a container cap that is present in the recess can be clamped tight, and that in the unlocked operating position the recess can be widened in such a way that the cap can be removed from the recess.

A universal container capper/decapper includes a capper/decapper assembly, and an axial actuator. The capper/decapper assembly comprises a capper/decapper housing, and at least one gripper arm. The capper/decapper housing has an axis of rotation. Each gripper arm has a driven end, a gripper end, and a knee portion intermediate the driven end and the gripper end. Each gripper arm is pivotally coupled to the housing proximate the knee portion. The axial actuator is coupled to each driven end and is configured to drive each gripper end in a radial direction relative to the axis of rotation by rotating each gripper arm about the respective knee portion relative to the housing.

A cover opener for opening a cover 1a that is rotationally removed from and fixed to a reagent container 1 includes: a rotational drive unit 12 and a cover retainer 17 to retain the cover 1a by becoming engaged with a concave portion 1b provided on an upper portion of the cover 1a. A carrier 16 is driven to rotate as the rotational drive unit rotates, as well as to move in a direction of a rotational axis with respect to the rotational drive unit. Springs 19 and 20, one of which is provided between the rotational drive unit and the cover retainer, and the other between the rotational drive unit and the carrier, bias the rotational drive unit and the cover retainer or the carrier in relative fashion to move away from each other. This enables the cover of the reagent container to be reliably opened.

An electric can opener for opening a top of a metal can which includes a housing that has a top end and a front side. A can cutting mechanism is on the front side of the housing proximate the top end of the housing. A hand held jar grip is removably mounted on the top end of the housing. The top end of the housing includes a recess that receives an interior surface of the hand held jar grip.

The invention relates to a device for the automatic opening and closing of reaction vessels. It comprises a holding device for the non-rotatable holding of one or more reaction vessels, a gripper for the gripping of a lid for the reaction vessel, wherein the gripper has gripping jaws to take hold of the lid, and a holding arm with a rotating mechanism for rotatable holding of the gripper. The gripping jaws are arranged in such a way that, when the lid is inserted into the area between the gripping jaws, it is held by the latter through frictional contact, and the gripper has no active operating device for opening and closing the gripping jaws.

An apparatus is provided for removing a childproof cap from a container having a locking mechanism, the apparatus, which is configured for one-handed operation, comprises a cap-engaging assembly wherein a first portion is urged toward a second portion that applies a force against the childproof cap when the container is maintained in a fixed position. The cap-engaging assemble further comprises a actuating mechanism, such as a caming mechanism, that is configured such that as the first portion is urged toward the second portion the cap is initially depressed in a linear direction until the actuating mechanism is engaged, whereby the second portion is rotated slightly relative to the first portion so that the childproof cap is also rotated and becomes disengaged from the locking mechanism of the container. The apparatus may optionally include a support apparatus that operatively connects the cap-engaging mechanism to a support base that receives the container, such as via a pivoting arm. In another embodiment, the apparatus includes a drive mechanism, such as an electric motor that rotates a threaded rod connected to the cap-engaging mechanism, thereby reducing the need for the user to supply the necessary force to depress and disengage the cap.

A device for opening a container having a screw-on lid includes a rotating turntable for holding the container and a non-rotating lid engaging member that, after being driven in a first direction into the lid by an axial drive, is disengaged from the axial drive by deflection occurring within a coupling between the axial drive and the lid engaging member.
