The invention relates to a device for receiving and transporting objects. Th e device has at least one pair of parallel chains or belts, which are situated opposite each other and are driven in synchrony. Said chains or belts define a space between them through which the objects are transported. Each chain (2) has at least one gripper (10), which is pivotably mounted thereon and which faces a gripper on the other chain respectively. Each gripper also has an extension (13) which can be moved along a guideway (61, 62, 63, 64). At the point where the objects are received, the respective guideway has a section (62) which is sloped in relation to the direction of travel of the objects ( 7) so that when the chain is running, the extension (13) of the gripper (10) is deflected along this sloped section (62), hereby causing the gripper (10) to perform a rotating movement which counters the translation movement (arrow A ) effected by the chain. As a result, there is no relative movement when the gripper and the object come into contact.
