Abstract
A grip device for the support and movement of preforms which extends along a longitudinal axis and is of the type provided with an access port which forms, at a rim, an annular radial flaring which lies on a surface of arrangement that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The grip device includes a supporting element which is functionally associated with an air supply conduit and is connected to at least one air exit nozzle which is adapted to generate at least one respective air flow which is designed to arrange itself parallel to at least one portion of the radial flaring of a preform to be held in order to enable the preform to be supported without contact.
