    - commande ledit au moins un support (51) du dispositif de redressement (05) de telle manière que celui-ci exerce une série cyclique de mouvements de pivotement au cours de laquelle il est animé d'un mouvement de pivotement, en aller et retour, autour de son axe de pivotement de 90° depuis sa position horizontale dans sa position verticale, dans lequel ledit support (51) prend une position horizontale au plus tard lorsque ladite au moins une tête de manipulateur (63) se trouve, durant sa série de mouvements le long de l'axe horizontal (11), au-dessus du dispositif de redressement (05), et maintient la position horizontale jusqu'à ce que la distance entre les outils (61, 52) du dispositif de préhension (06) et du dispositif de redressement (05) ait été agrandie, au cours de la série de mouvements répétitive du dispositif de préhension (06) et du dispositif de redressement (05), au moins de telle manière qu'un cartonnage (02) retenu par les outils (61, 52) du dispositif de préhension (06) et du dispositif de redressement (05) est ouvert pour former un croisillon et/ou emballage secondaire (03) couché, afin de prendre ensuite une position verticale en étant rabattu et/ou pivoté autour de son axe de pivotement (13), et
    - commande ledit au moins un outil (52) du dispositif de redressement (05) de telle manière que, dès que la tête de manipulateur (63) se trouve au-dessus du dispositif de redressement (05), celui-ci saisit une paroi de cartonnage (22) de la face plate inférieure (24) dudit au moins un cartonnage (02) retenu par ledit au moins un outil (61) du dispositif de préhension (06) et retient celle-ci au moins jusqu'à ce que le cartonnage (02) ouvert pour former d'abord un croisillon et/ou emballage secondaire (03) couché ait été mis debout en rabattant et/ou en pivotant ledit au moins un support (51) du dispositif de redressement (05) de 90° autour de son axe de pivotement (13), depuis sa position horizontale dans sa position verticale, et soit à disposition pour son utilisation ultérieure.
  14. Dispositif selon l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes, dans lequel la surface de la réserve de cartonnages (04) formée par le cartonnage (02) le plus haut de ladite au moins une pile (41) se trouve à un niveau qui est plus haut au moins de la hauteur d'un croisillon et/ou emballage secondaire (03) ouvert couché que le niveau du dispositif de redressement (05) formé par ledit au moins un outil (52) du dispositif de redressement (05), dans la position horizontale dudit au moins un support (51) de celui-ci, pendant la préhension d'une paroi de cartonnage (22) de la face plate inférieure (24) d'un cartonnage (02).
  15. Procédé pour ouvrir et redresser des cartonnages (02) pliés ou repliés pour qu'ils forment des croisillons et/ou emballages secondaires (03) disposés debout, qui prévoit
    - de retenir, en venant d'en haut, le cartonnage (02) le plus haut d'une pile (41) de cartonnages (02) superposés et pliés à plat d'une réserve (04) de cartonnages (02), sur une paroi de cartonnage (22) de sa face plate supérieure (23), et de retirer celui-ci de ladite pile (41),
    caractérisé par le fait que,
    - ensuite, le cartonnage (02) qui est retenu sur une paroi de cartonnage (22) de sa face plate supérieure (23) est retenu également d'en bas sur une paroi de cartonnage (22) de sa face plate inférieure (24), et, par une traction opposée, la distance verticale entre la paroi de cartonnage (22) sur laquelle le cartonnage (02) est maintenu sur sa face plate supérieure (23) et la paroi de cartonnage (22) sur laquelle le cartonnage (02) est maintenu sur sa face plate inférieure (24) est agrandie jusqu'à ce que le cartonnage (02) soit ouvert pour former un croisillon et/ou emballage secondaire (03) couché,
    - ce après quoi ledit croisillon et/ou emballage secondaire (03) ouvert est libéré sur sa paroi de cartonnage (22) associée auparavant à la face plate supérieure (23) du cartonnage (02), et,
    - enfin, le croisillon et/ou emballage secondaire (03) ouvert couché qui est retenu encore sur sa paroi de cartonnage (22) associée auparavant à la face plate inférieure (24) du cartonnage (02) bascule autour d'un axe de pivotement (13) horizontal, et, ci-après, le croisillon et/ou emballage secondaire (03) ouvert et maintenant redressé est libéré également sur sa paroi de cartonnage (22) associée auparavant à la face plate inférieure (24) du cartonnage (02).
