Abstract:
1. A transport device for transporting containers, the transport device comprising: at least one transport unit movable along a curved track for transporting at least one container in response to a drive unit, the transport unit having a transport component mobile on the track; and, a receiver device for holding at least one container, wherein the receiver device is constructed and arranged to be aligned in response and in relation to at least one movement force imparted upon the receiver device or the container as a result of movement of the transport unit, wherein the at least one movement force includes at least one of a centrifugal force in response to a transport movement on a curved track or an acceleration force in response to a change in transport speed, wherein the at least one container has an inertia or weight, and wherein the centrifugal force at least partly comprises the inertia or weight of the container or is a result of a vectorial sum of the centrifugal and acceleration forces.
