Claim:
1. A handling device for at least one case and at least one object contained in the at least one case, the at least one case being of cylindrical form, said device comprising: a housing of longitudinal axis configured to receive the at least one case, said housing being closed at a first longitudinal end and open at a second longitudinal end, a holder mounted at the level of the second end of the housing, said holder comprising two clamping jaws capable of being moved about an axis of rotation which is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the housing, said clamping jaws being configured to apply a clamping force to the at least one case so as to hold the at least one case longitudinally in the housing, at least one actuator for opening and closing said clamping jaws, two stop jaws, each of said stop jaws being supported by one of said clamping jaws and being configured to rotate about the axis of rotation of the clamping jaw, said stop jaws being moved towards each other in a stop position by resilient means, such that the opening of the clamping jaws causes opening of the stop jaws and such that the stop jaws can be opened independently of the clamping jaws, said stop jaws being located outside the housing and downstream the clamping jaws and being configured to stop the at least one object at the second longitudinal end of the housing.
