A gravity actuated gripper includes two concentrically interleaved shells ich are displaceable with respect to one another in two positions for gripping molds containing radioactive material, with the fill opening or upper edge of the molds being provided with a circumferential carrying ring behind which engage balls to perform the gripping. The gripper is intended to be particularly robust and assure high operational reliability under all conditions. For this purpose, a special control is provided for the two positions, the control including a switching ring which corresponds with rings of crown teeth attached to both shells. Due to the special configuration of the teeth and an up-and-down movement of the switching ring, the two shells can take on a gripping position and a release position.

Coupling means including a male and female connector of novel construction are provided. The coupling means may find particular utility in the drive train for control elements in a nuclear reactor, though is not limited thereto. The female connector includes operating means for laterally engaging a part of the male connector inserted thereinto and moving it into restrained alignment with a retaining surface in the female connector. A recessed seat in the retaining surface locks the male connector in coupled relationship with the female connector. Additional locking means are disclosed.
