Abstract:
1. A conveying device for cylindrical members ( 1 ) for hollow objects, on a transporting route, the cylindrical members ( 1 ) having at least one head ( 2 ) with a collar ( 3 ), the conveying device comprising two running rails ( 8 , 9 ), which extend parallel to one another and are located at a spacing from one another and are inclined in the direction of travel ( 7 ), said running rails ( 8 , 9 ) having upward-facing surfaces which form a sliding and supporting surface ( 10 ) for a lower surface ( 5 ) of the collars ( 3 ) of the cylindrical members ( 1 ), and a guide rail ( 11 ) being fixedly located above and at a spacing from the sliding and supporting surfaces ( 10 ) of the two running rails ( 8 , 9 ), said guide rail ( 11 ) forming a height guide for the head ( 2 ) of the cylindrical members ( 1 ), wherein at least one movable intermediate element ( 12 , 12 ′) is guided in said guide rail ( 11 ), said intermediate element ( 12 , 12 ′) is movable approximately at right angles in relation to the sliding and supporting surfaces ( 10 ) of the running rails ( 8 , 9 ), and a part-region ( 13 ) of said intermediate element ( 12 , 12 ′) protrudes into the intermediate space between the sliding and supporting surfaces ( 10 ) of the running rails ( 8 , 9 ) and the guide rail ( 11 ), and forms a guide element for the head ( 2 ) of the cylindrical members ( 1 ), wherein an element of force having a force component ( 14 ), which is directed toward the intermediate space, acts on the intermediate element ( 12 , 12 ′), and wherein at least one guide in (
