ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for transporting containers may include a transport body having at least two segments. The transport body is arranged such that it can rotate about a predefined geometric axis of rotation. The transport body has a plurality of openings and, on its outer circumference, a plurality of recesses for receiving at least one region of the containers to be transported. The apparatus comprises a plurality of holding bodies for holding the transport body. An extension direction of the holding bodies extends at an angle other than 0° relative to a plane of the transport body. At least one engagement region of each of the holding bodies is arranged in each case in one of the openings. According to the disclosure, the cross section of at least some of these openings is larger than the cross section of the engagement region of the holding bodies which is arranged in these openings, so that the segments are movable at least at times relative to the holding bodies in a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
