The tunnel is twisted and the two rails (12) and (13) which act as a guidance under the neck have a separation which is constant between the entrance (4) and the exit (5) of the said tunnel in order to convey diverse and varying preforms. One of the rails, the rail (12), is straight and the other rail, the rail (13), is curved, this rail (13) having a profile created in accordance with the type of preform to be conveyed. The straight rail (12) corresponds to the edge of a guide (15) in the form of a simple flat which is fixed to the frame (17), and the curved rail (13) too corresponds to the edge of a guide (16) in the form of a simple flat which is also fixed suitably to the said frame (17).
Conveyor device for products of the preform type, of the type forming a kind of tunnel wherein is guided and imprisoned the end of said preforms, on the neck side, said tunnel is comprised of several rails supported by a frame and formed to shape a twist which extends from the entrance to the exit of said tunnel, and in particular:
