Gripper for a container

A gripper arm for a device for grasping, holding and guiding bottle-like containers comprising:

• a rotatably mounted control cam for moving a gripping section of the gripper arm from an open position into a gripping position, having a bore hole for supporting a bearing pin for pivotably mounting the gripper arm in the device;
• a seating for an opening means for moving the gripping section of the gripper arm from the gripping position into the open position;
• and
• a suspension means for cushioning and equalizing the force and/or deflection exerted on the gripper arm by the control cam, wherein
• the suspension means includes a spring bar integrally formed in an end section of the gripper arm body, wherein the end section includes a recess as spring space for the spring bar and forms a material limitation of the recess on its side of the spring bar facing the control cam, the material strength and material properties of which enable a cushioning and equalizing of the force and/or deflection exerted by the control cam on the gripper arm.
