Transport star unit for containers
First Claim
1. Transport star for containers comprising a rotatable basic body and several gripping tongs mounted on the circumference of said basic body, formed in each case by two pivoting clamps, whereby said clamps are designed as double-levers with radially outward-facing gripping arms and radially inward-facing counterarms engaged by a control device with a snap body, mounted adjustably on said basic body, forcing apart said counterarms in the closed position, said control device (16) having at least one lifter (17, 44, 45) mounted in said basic body (13), so that it can be rotated, said lifter sitting between said counterarms of associated said clamps (5, 6;
- 7, 8;
46,
47) and forcing apart said two adjacent counterarms in at least one angular or closed position and allowing said counterarms to approach one another in at least one other angular or open position.

Abstract
In a transport star for containers with a rotatable basic body and several gripper tongs mounted on its circumference, which are formed by clamps in the form of double-levers, a rotatable, lifter is provided mounted between the counterarms of radially inward-facing associated clamps, and the lifter forces the two adjacent counterarms apart in at least one angular or closed position and allows the counterarms to come together in at least one other angular or open position. In this way, low production costs, high operating safety, and universal application possibilities are achieved.
