Abstract
An apparatus and a method for handling a container product, in particular a container or a preform for producing a container, where the product is provided with an orientation mark and adapted to be rotated to a predetermined rotary angle position relative to a holder by an orienting means. To do so in a structurally simple and reliable manner, the orienting means are arranged at a transfer site between a holder of a first conveying unit and a holder of a second conveying unit, at which the holders move relative to one another in an accompanying movement, and the rotary movement of the product to the predetermined rotary angle position is derived from the relative movement of the holders.

An apparatus for handling a container product, in particular a container or a preform for producing a container, comprising the product being provided with an orientation mark and adapted to be rotated to a predetermined rotary angle position relative to a holder, an orienting means arranged at a transfer site (Ü) between a holder of a first conveying unit and a holder of a second conveying unit, at which the holders move relative to one another in an accompanying movement, and that the rotary movement of the product to the predetermined rotary angle position is derived from the relative movement of the holders.
A method of handling a container product, in particular a container or a preform for producing a container, comprising moving the product to a predetermined position of orientation relative to a holder by rotating it about its longitudinal axis, and, in a transfer region (Ü) from a holder of a first conveying unit to a holder of a second conveying unit, rotating the product, and deriving the rotary movement from a relative movement between the holders.
