<p>The invention relates to a transporting apparatus (10) for transporting and/or positioning containers (11) in a stepwise manner between successive operating stations (13). Each container (11) here is received by a receiving unit (38) and moved about a main axis (H), together with the receiving unit (38), along a circular path (12). The operating stations (13) are spaced apart at predetermined angular intervals along the circular path (12). Each receiving unit (38) has a guide-body arrangement (65) which, when the receiving unit (38) moves along the circular path (12), is supported on a circular guide surface (68). The guide surface (68) has first guide-surface portions (68a) and second guide-surface portions (68b). The first guide-surface portions (68a) are arranged on a guide body (69). The second guide-surface portions (68) are arranged on guide segments (70). The guide segments (70) are located in apertures (71) of the guide body (69) at certain operating stations configured as rotary operating stations (13b). The guide segments (70) can be rotated about an axis of rotation (D). When the guide segment (70) is rotated about the axis of rotation (D), the guide-body arrangement (69) also moves about this axis of rotation (D) and, at the same time, the receiving unit (38) as a whole likewise rotates about the axis of rotation (D), which coincides with the longitudinal axis (B) of the containers.</p> |
