`mechanism (170) comprising an input member (175) that is vertically dispiaceabie with respect to the gnpper frame, wherein the
`transmission mechanism engages the actuation mechanism such that a high position of the input member corresponds to a closed position
`of the gripper beak while a downward displacement of the input member corresponds to a transition of the gn'pper beak to an open
`position; a vertically dispiaceabie carrier coupisng device (140) that in a lower rest position presses down on the input member; a latch
`mechanism (180), preferably of alternate push-push type, for holding the gripper beak (120) in its open position.
