<p>The invention relates to an apparatus for checking containers, e.g. bottles or pots. The apparatus comprises a transport apparatus for transporting the containers along a predetermined path, a lighting apparatus, such as at least one flash light, positioned at a side of said path and a sensing apparatus, e.g. at least one video camera, positioned at a corresponding position. The transport apparatus is provided, in the area of the lighting apparatus and the sensing apparatus, with a part, in which the containers are hung by their collars. The invention proposes to adapt such an apparatus in such a way that in the part of said transport apparatus the path is rectilinear, thus avoiding the need to counteract the oblique position necessary in prior art apparatus, in which the path is curved, and avoiding mechanical load due to centrifugal forces.</p> |
