The invention relates to a picking-up device and assembly for making a part made
of a reinforced plastics material in a mold. The picking-up device includes at
least one presser having a shaped front face and first needles mounted to have
end portions that project beyond the front face in one position and retract so
as to be set back from the front face in a second position. The picking-up device
may have a base mounted to move relative to the picking-up device. A production
line may be formed from use of two picking-up devices.
