Abstract
A holder for a container, which comprises a backplate and a retaining strap. The backplate provides, on one face, an engagement surface, a ledge perpendicular to the face and spaced from the engagement surface, a guide sloping downwards and outwards from the face towards the ledge, and a step formed on or by the guide. The retaining strap is semi-rigid and is secured to the backplate to define a space between itself and the backplate. A projection with a curved outer face is formed on the restraining strap. In use, the base of a container rests on the ledge, an upper part of the container wall bears against the engagement surface, and an intermediate part of the container wall bears against the projection.
