Abstract
Container transport apparatus for transporting containers such as plastic bottles and the like which are subject to damage without damaging the containers. The container transport apparatus includes container guiding members for guiding containers such as plastic bottles through a bottle rinser or the like and elongated endless belt members for contacting the sides of the containers to move the containers along the path of the container guiding members. The container transport apparatus eliminates the problems associated with conventional bottle rinsers and the like when used with non-rigid bottles.
