Abstract: An apparatus for conveying a container made of plastic material comprising a supporting frame (3), sliding along a predetermined path; a longitudinal rod (20), defining an axis (X), adapted to translate along axis (X) and/or to rotate about axis (X) through guide-holes (24?, 25?) provided in the supporting frame; a gripping device (22), fixed to the longitudinal rod, for picking and withholding an end of the container to be conveyed; wherein the translation strokes of the longitudinal rod (20) and of the gripping device (22) can be adjusted along axis (X) so that the gripping device (22) can operate at three working levels or positions: a resting position (L0), a gripping position (L1) and a releasing position (L2).

Abstract: An apparatus for conveying a container made of plastic material comprising supporting frame (3), sliding along a predetermined path; a longitudinal rod (20), defining an axis (X), adapted to translate along said axis and/or to rotate about said axis through guide-holes (24?, 25?) provided in the supporting frame; a gripping device (22), fixed to a first end of the longitudinal rod, for picking and withholding an end of the container to be conveyed; wherein actuation means are provided for actuating the translation strokes of the longitudinal rod (20) and of the gripping device (22) along said axis (X), so that the gripping device (22) can operate at three working levels or positions: a first resting position (L0), a second gripping position (L1) and a third releasing position (L2).
