The invention relates to a device for gripping a container preform having a base, a spindle which is mounted on the base, and an ejector at least partially surrounding the spindle. The spinner includes a spindle mounted such that it pivots in a sliding manner in relation to the base and a spinner tip removably fixed to the spindle. The ejector partially surrounds the spinner and is able to occupy a working position in which it is secured to the base. The spinner tip and the ejector are respectively provided with an imprint and a complementary counter-imprint. The ejector can be removed from the base and can occupy a tooling position in which the counterpart thereof cooperates with the cavity of the spinner tip so that they rotate together.

A device for gripping a hollow body includes a freely-rotating shaft and a mandrel that is integral with the shaft. The mandrel itself includes: an end fitting; a radiator that is mounted directly on the end fitting; a crosspiece inserted between the end fitting and the radiator; an expandable ring mounted between the end fitting and the crosspiece; an elastic element mounted between the end fitting and the expandable ring; an insert made of a material with high thermal conductivity, set in a housing made in the end fitting and emptying onto a free end face of the former, with the insert extending up to the point facing the radiator.

Device for gripping a hollow body having an enhanced capacity for evacuating heat

A method for ejecting a vessel (), carried by a transporting device (), the vessel () being provided with a neck () including a mouth (), the transporting device () including: &#x2014;a mobile support (); &#x2014;a gripping mandrel () that grips by vertical engagement with the neck (); &#x2014;an ejection face () mounted on the mobile support (), the gripping mandrel () being mounted vertically slidable relative to the ejection face () to allow the gripping mandrel () to be extracted from the neck () when it slides via contact between the ejection face () and a bearing face () of the neck (); characterized in that the bearing face () of the neck () is formed by a shoulder face that protrudes radially towards the outside relative to the mouth () and is arranged under the mouth () in the vertical direction.

A device for transporting a hollow body having a neck including an inner vertical orientation wall and a top edge, the device including elements for grasping the hollow body by engaging with the neck's inner wall, which are mounted at the bottom end of a rod and movably connected to the rod, the rod being movably mounted vertically between a high position and a low position. The grasping elements are movably mounted radially between: a retracted position, in which the grasping elements are inserted vertically, from top to bottom, inside the neck, without contact with the inner wall; and a deployed position, in which the grasping elements engage with the inner wall of the neck, wherein changing the position of the grasping elements from the retracted to the deployed position is controlled by the vertical movement toward the bottom of the rod, from the high to the low position.

Device for transporting a hollow body comprising improved grasping means

The invention relates to a device for conveying vessels of the bottle type, characterized in that it comprises: a primary wheel for conveying the bottles including a plurality of transfer arms; at least two secondary conveying wheels respectively capable of conveying the bottles fed by the primary wheel; the conveying path of the bottles grasped by the clamps of the transfer arms of each secondary wheel being at one point tangential to the conveying path of the bottles grasped by the transfer arms of the primary wheel, whereby the main flow of bottles conveyed by the primary wheel is divided into at least two secondary flows of bottles respectively conveyed by the secondary conveying wheels.
