Abstract:
1. A device for filling containers, the device comprising: an upper main element; a lower main element; lateral elements connecting the upper main element and the lower main element; and a plurality of support elements pressed in contact with one another in the main elements without a drive device continuously extending along the main elements, wherein the support elements pressed in contact with one another are continuously movable through a filling device along the entire main elements, wherein a continuously movable drive draws support elements in contact with support elements that are pressed in contact with one another in the main elements by the continuously movable drive, wherein the support elements are not pressed in contact with one another when supported in at least one lateral element, wherein the support elements are pressed in contact with one another in the upper main element or in the lower main element over an entire movement path along the entire upper main element or the entire lower main element, and wherein a movement of the support elements pressed in contact with one another in the upper main element or in the lower main element is acceleratable in a controlled manner by the continuously movable drive that is in form-locking engagement with an upstream support element and deceleratable in a controlled manner by a brake device that is in form-locking engagement with a downstream support element.
