Abstract:
A feed device for a conveyor system for preforms which transports the preforms coming in an ordered manner from an upstream module of the conveyor system to a downstream module of the conveyor system in which the preforms are separated into singles, wherein the feed device has at least two oppositely arranged transport rails, on which the preforms rest in each case with a support ring. The feed device additionally includes at least two oppositely arranged belt transport units which preferably engage with a threaded portion of the preforms and transport them in a transport direction to the downstream module of the conveyor system, wherein the belt transport units each have a drive which applies a torque to the preforms accumulated in front of the downstream module, which torque the individual preforms are able to be transferred in a more reliable manner from the feed device into the downstream module.

Claim (Index 5):
The feed device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein in each case two oppositely arranged air nozzle units ( 18 ), which support the transport of the preforms in the transport direction (T), are provided in the region of the downstream end of the oppositely arranged belt transport units (R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 ), preferably below the transport rails ( 14 ).
