Abstract
A holder device for holding objects includes a holder body, a moveable carrier element, and a force generating system tending to move the carrier element in a first direction to a first position when the carrier element is in a second position away from the first position. The carrier element constitutes a trough having a longitudinal direction perpendicular to the first direction, a wider area closer to a bottom of the trough, and a narrower area farther from the bottom of the trough. When the carrier element is in the first position, a rim of the holder body closes the trough so that the objects cannot be moved in the longitudinal direction to and from the trough. When the carrier element is in the second position, the objects can be moved in the longitudinal direction to and from the trough.
Claims20
A holder device comprising:
- a holder body,
- a carrier element linearly moveable with respect to the holder body and configured to hold one or more objects, and
- a force generating system configured to generate force tending to move the carrier element in a first direction to a first position with respect to the holder body when the carrier element is in a second position away from the first position,
- wherein the carrier element comprises two wall sections parallel with and a distance away from each other and an intermediate section connected to the wall sections, the wall sections and the intermediate section constituting a trough having a longitudinal direction perpendicular to the first direction, a wider area closer to a bottom of the trough, and a narrower area farther from the bottom of the trough, wherein a rim of the holder body is configured to close at least the wider area of the trough when the carrier element is in the first position to prevent the one or more objects from moving in the longitudinal direction out from the trough, and the wider area of the trough is farther in a second direction opposite to the first direction than the rim of the holder body when the carrier element is in the second position to allow the one or more objects to be moved in the longitudinal direction out from the trough.
