Abstract
An apparatus for transporting containers along a transport route includes first and second transport elements, at least one of which comprises grippers that are radially movable in relation to a vertical machine axis about which said first transport element rotates. The said first and second transport elements define a transport route that comprises first and second transport-route sections defined by circular arcs and a third transport-route section disposed between them. The third transport-route section comprises a transport-route region that defines a course having a kink-free transition-curve section having a curvature that either only increases or only decreases.
