A device for unloading and storing preforms for the production of containers made of plastics includes at least one cooling plate that defines a plurality of receptacles for respective preforms and a component for transferring the still-hot preforms from an injection molding device to the cooling plate. The device includes pick-up components adapted to pick up the preforms from the cooling plate and place them inside at least one accommodation container.

The invention relates to a device for orienting elements, in particular filter elements (F), for fitting injection-molded parts, in particular pipette tips (P), comprising an accommodating container (1a) for accommodating the filter elements (F) as bulk material, a sieve plate (1), which forms the bottom of the accommodating container and which has bores (11) for accommodating individual filter elements (F), a buffer plate (2), which is arranged under the sieve plate (1) and which has bores (2.1) corresponding to the bores of the buffer plate (2) and which is arranged below the buffer plate in such way that the transfer plate can moved in relation to the buffer plate (2).
