ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for transporting receptacles or the like in a filling and/or sealing machine has one or more endless conveyors or a turntable and several sets of locating members for individual receptacles or groups of receptacles. The selected locating member are separably coupled to the turntable or to discrete supporting plates on the conveyor or conveyors so that their sockets can accept individual receptacles for transport past one or more filling and/or other stations. If the machine is to treat differently dimensioned and/or configurated receptacles, the previously used locating members are replaced with a different set of locating members having sockets which can properly receive the newly selected receptacles for transport past one or more stations. Each locating member can be in a mere linear or in full surface-to-surface contact with the corresponding receptacle or receptacles. The selected locating members can be affixed to the upper side or underside of the turntable or to the upper sides or undersides of discrete supporting plates.
