<p>According to the invention, the device comprises a circular conveyor (11) consisting of a multiplicity of lateral supports (15, 16) delimiting two by two a plurality of storage lines (14) for containers (2). Each container (2), for example a plastic bottle, has a protuberance (8) in the region of its neck (7), the lateral supports supporting the containers by means of their protuberance during their transfer. Moreover, the device comprises, opposite the circular conveyor, at least one air-jet transfer assembly (12, 13) for the formation and discharge of the storage lines (arrows D) and drive means capable of displacing the circular conveyor (11) transversely in steps (arrow F) in synchronism with the functioning of the transfer assembly or transfer assemblies (12, 13). An installation can comprise two and preferably four abovementioned devices and the appropriate branch circuit upstream and downstream, for example from the machine for the extrusion blow-moulding of the bottles to the filling machine. <IMAGE></p> |
