摘要

The endless belt transporter (1) grips the bottle necks when moving in a straight line and releases the grip when fed around the guide wheels (8,9). The pairs of grips (17,18) have an elastic grip on the bottles along the straight sections and are forced apart when taken around the guide wheels. No separate grip controls are required. The pairs of grips are shaped to fit the particular bottle necks. Grooves in the grips align with collars on the necks for vertical support. ADVANTAGE - Secure grip of bottle necks, simple transport system.
