Patent ID: 8500084

Claim:
Bottling plant comprising a container handling machine and a support structure for the container handling machine, the support structure being located on a horizontal floor and supporting the container handling machine on the horizontal floor, the support structure comprising a first module ( 4 a ) and a second module ( 4 b ), the first module comprising a first connecting bar ( 6 a ) having a first end and a second end, the first connecting bar ( 6 a ) having a first bearing expansion ( 7 c ) attached at its first end and a second bearing expansion ( 7 d ) attached at its second end, the second module comprising a second connecting bar ( 6 b ) having a first end and a second end, the second connecting bar ( 6 b ) having a third bearing expansion ( 7 e ) attached at its first end and a fourth bearing expansion ( 7 f ) attached at its second end, the second bearing expansion ( 7 d ) being detachably connected to the third bearing expansion ( 7 e ) in such a way as to define a support ( 8 ), wherein the second bearing expansion ( 7 d ), is connectable with the third bearing expansion ( 7 e ) in a plurality of different angular positions such that the support structure ( 5 ) can assume different layouts, the first connecting bar ( 6 a ) having a longitudinal axis which defines a first horizontal plane with respect to the horizontal floor, the second connecting bar ( 6 b ) having a longitudinal axis which defines a second horizontal plane with respect to the horizontal floor, the first horizontal plane being spaced vertically from the second horizontal plane.
