Clamp () for gripping a hollow body (), which includes a clamp body (), a pair of jaws () mounted articulated relative to the clamp body () around respective axes (A, A) of rotation that are parallel, and a magnetic return device () of the jaws (), including a pair of magnets () in magnetic opposition, with magnetic axes that are parallel to the axes of rotation of the jaws (), able to draw, by opening or by closing, the clamp (), thus having two stable positions, open and closed, in which the magnets () are off-axis.

Clamp for gripping a hollow body such as a container preform or a container

Device () for gripping an object such as a blow-molding container preform (), comprising: a guiding body (); a stop body (), mounted so as to move axially relative to the guiding body () along an axis () of the device, intended to be aligned with the object () to be gripped; a mandrel support (), equipped with a gripping mandrel (), able to move axially relative to the guiding body () and having a plunge-in travel () going from a set-back position to a plunged-in position in which the mandrel () is capable of gripping the object (). The stop body () has, together with the mandrel support (), a system of support stops () arranged so that the mandrel support () drives the stop body () axially onto a terminal portion of the plunge-in travel (). The device () includes a return means () mounted between the guiding body () and the stop body, for the purpose of driving the stop body along an axial set-back direction opposite direction of plunge-in travel.
