Abstract:
An apparatus for transporting containers or packs of containers includes an endlessly circulating belt driven by a drive. A mark marks a position on the belt and a sensor detects the mark. A controller receives data from the drive's rotation-angle detector and from the sensor. It then uses this data to either determine an extent to which the belt has elongated or to control the drive.

Claim (Index 16):
An apparatus for transporting objects selected from the group consisting of containers and packs of containers, said apparatus comprising a belt, a drive, a controller, a sensor, a mark, and an angle detector, wherein said belt is an endlessly-circulating belt, said drive drives said belt, and said controller controls said drive, wherein said mark marks a position on said belt, wherein said sensor detects said mark, wherein said drive comprises said angle detector, wherein said controller receives data from said rotation-angle detector and said sensor, and wherein said controller is configured to carry out a task selected from the group consisting of a first task and a second task, wherein said first task is that of calculating, based at least in part on said data, an extent to which said belt has elongated, and wherein said second task is that of controlling said drive based at least in part on said data.
