Abstract: The 3-parameter group of Euclidean bundle motions moves every point of the 3-space on a ball centered in the bundle vertex. In this paper we investigate motions of the 4-parameter group of equiform bundle transformations with the property, that some of the points have spherical orbits i. e. orbits lying in a plane or on a ball. In the first part of this paper we introduced a "principle of transfer" which turned out to be a usefull tool for a systematical approach to these problems. The second part contains a detailed investigation of some motions presented in the first part. We also give parameter representations of these examples.
