A gripper mechanism (10) for moving an object having a surface cavity, the gripper mechanism comprising an actuation end moveable in an axial direction and a rotary body (14). A first mechanism is configured such that movement of the actuation end in an axial direction rotates the rotary body. A gripper (18) is moveable between an engaged position and a disengaged position. In the engaged position the gripper is capable of engaging an object and in the disengaged position the gripper is capable of being received into and removed from a cavity of an object. The gripper is connected to the rotary body by a second mechanism. The second mechanism is configured such that rotary motion of the body moves the gripper between the engaged position and the disengaged position.
