Abstract
An apparatus for blow molding plastic containers includes a blow molding carousel and is connected, at a first transfer station, to a feeding line of preforms, the first transfer station having a transfer carousel supporting grip elements which are associated with at least one respective grip body. Each grip element has a first arm, which is supported so that it can rotate by the transfer carousel in order to rotate on command about a substantially vertical pivoting axis, and a second arm, which extends longitudinally and can slide on command with respect to the first arm along an advancement/retraction direction which is substantially parallel to its own direction of extension. The grip body includes a coupling element which is configured to stably hold the preform.
