Actuating means is connected to the gripping members for controlling their relative movement and thus gripping and releasing of the containers. The actuating means may include a series of actuating devices spaced apart along and connected to the gripping members. Those actuating devices are actuable, at least substantially following movement of the gripping members to grip containers on the lehr conveyor, to move the gripping members in a direction away from the lehr conveyor so as to move the depending gripped containers clear of the conveyor. The actuating devices are also actuable, at least substantially before movement of the gripping members to release the containers onto the lehr conveyor, to move the gripping members in a direction toward the lehr conveyor so as to place the containers onto the conveyor.
