Abstract

Transport system (6) for an article (1) having: a movable unit (7) provided with at least one seat (8), which is designed to contain the article (1), is delimited by a first wall (11) and by a second wall (12) facing one another and opposite one another, so that the article (1) can be housed between the first wall (11) and the second wall (12), and has an elastic element (13) pushing the two walls (11, 12) towards one another: a conveyor (9), which is designed to move the movable unit (7) along a path (P); and an operating device (15), which is on the outside and independent of the movable unit (7), is arranged along the path (P), and is designed to act upon the first wall (11) in order to move the first wall (11) away from the second wall (12) against the force generated by the elastic element (13). The first wall (11) is mounted on the movable unit (7) in a sliding manner to linearly slide relative to the movable unit (7). The movable unit (7) has a control appendage (14) which is rigidly connected to the first wall (11) and is designed to be moved by the operating device (15) relative to the rest of the movable unit (7) to change the distance of the first wall (11) relative to the second wall (12).
