Abstract: A container conveying apparatus wherein retainers (1) are disposed along a retainer movement rail (52), and the one-time movement distance of a retainer is set to be an integer multiple of the spacing p of the retainers and to be different values in the two straight sections (A lane and B lane) of the retainer movement rail. If the maximum value of the one-time movement distance of a retainer in the straight sections is n times the spacing p, and the maximum number of retainers that can be disposed along the retainer movement rail is m, then the number of retainers actually disposed along the retainer movement rail is preferably m−n. The number of retainers m−n is an integer multiple of n, and all retainers disposed along the retainer movement rail are linked together in groups of n retainers at spacing p.

Abstract: A gripper for grasping and conveying objects while retaining the objects, and to a corresponding conveyor system and an operating method. The gripper has a gripper body and first and second gripper jaws. The gripper jaws each include at least one respective clamping region, can assume an open state and a closed state relative to each other, and can exert a clamping force on each other or on the object to be grasped. At least one of the gripper jaws includes a jaw body that is elastically deformable and is supported on the gripper body such that the body assumes a defined spatial position (resting position) when force is not applied to a control element and deforms and is deflected from the resting position when force is applied to the control element.

Abstract: An apparatus for conveying products to a destination has a revolving conveyor chain embodied by entraining elements revolving along a first continuous track and have a certain chain pitch. A revolving conveying device is disposed with grippers arranged at a distance therebetween on the conveying device revolving around a second continuous track. A first zone of the first and second continuous track transfers products from the first continuous track on the conveyor chain to the second continuous track via the grippers. A second zone of the second continuous track delivers products from the grippers at the destination. A third zone of the first and second continuous track returns products not needed at the destination from the grippers on the second continuous track to the conveyor chain on the first continuous track. A distance traveled by the conveyor chain on the first continuous track from a transfer point of the products in the first zone to a return point in the third zone and a distance traveled by the grippers on the second continuous track from the transfer point of the products in the first zone to the return point in the third zone are chosen such that a phase shift amounting to a fraction of the chain pitch occurs between the conveyor chain and the gripper between the return point and the transfer point.

Abstract: A container processing machine (M) with at least one carousel (1, 1′) which defines a multiple-row processing section (2, 2′), processing devices (24, 25) which move concurrently in multiple rows with the carousel, container holding element groups which are attached to sections of a concurrently moving conveyor device (3), holding elements (H), at least within the processing section (2, 2′), that are positioned next to each other transversely to the conveyance direction, and feed and removal systems (Z, A) for the loading and the unloading of the holding elements (H). The feed and removal systems (Z, A) are designed with a single row, while the holding elements (H) of the groups are resettable between a single-row position, in which they are oriented at least approximately parallel to the conveyance direction, and, in the area of the loading and unloading zones (L, E), a position resetting device (U) for the holding elements. In a procedure for loading and loading a container processing machine (M), the holding element groups are loaded from only one single row (D) and unloaded again into a single row (D), and the holding element groups, for the loading and unloading with respect to the conveyor device (3), are temporarily reset between single-row and multiple-row positions.
