Abstract:
1. Device ( 10 ) for conveying objects such as preforms and bottles, of the type comprising a rotating support ( 12 ) which is driven in rotation continuously about a substantially vertical axis of rotation (AO) and which carries a transfer arm ( 14 ), of the type in which the transfer arm ( 14 ) comprises a supporting element ( 16 ) which is mounted in a swivelling manner with respect to the rotating support ( 12 ), about a swivelling spindle ( 18 ) which is substantially parallel to the axis of rotation (AO) of the support ( 12 ), and a grasping head ( 20 ) which is able to support at last one object and which is mounted in a sliding manner with respect to the supporting element ( 16 ), in a direction (BO) approximately radial with respect to the axis of rotation (AO) of the support ( 12 ), between a proximal retracted position and a distal extended position with respect to the axis of rotation (AO), of the type in which the grasping head ( 20 ) is attached cantilevered on the distal end section ( 89 ) of a slider ( 22 ) sliding in a slide ( 24 ) fixed to the supporting element ( 16 ), and of the type comprising a first cam system and a second cam system for driving the grasping head ( 20 ) in its sliding and the supporting element ( 16 ) in its swivelling respectively, according to the angular position of the arm ( 14 ) about the axis of rotation (AO) of the support ( 12 ) characterized in that the slide (
