Due to the presence of the sealed air chamber 322, i.e. in a thermostated sealed, flexible gas chamber, the pressure times the mention is always constant. As the pneumatic device 4 continues to inflate the grasping mechanism 33, the volume of the air chamber 322 continues to increase, causing the end effector to expand outwardly, at which point the pressure within the chamber increases. At this point, the pressure within the air chamber 322 is greater than the pressure of the surrounding air. When the pneumatic device 4 stops inflating, the pressure within the air chamber 322 is less than the pressure of the surrounding air, i.e. the pressure outside the protective layer 32 is greater than the pressure within the protective layer 32. This means that air outside protective layer 32 will exert a force tending to retract air chambers 322 within protective layer 32 back to its equilibrium volume, thereby causing the end effectors to flex inwardly, i.e., first grip 331 moves toward second grip 332, and adjacent gripping mechanisms 33 move toward one another so that the end effectors may tightly grip the article when retracted.
