Abstract

Selon l'état de la technique, il existe des distributeurs automatiques de liquides refroidis ou de glace. Ces distributeurs automatiques sont souvent intégrés à des réfrigérateurs de telle façon qu'une porte du réfrigérateur soit équipée d'un puits de distribution dans lequel on pose un récipient de boisson. L'invention vise permettre l'utilisation de ce puits de distribution avec différents grands contenants tout en veillant à ce que ces contenants soient posés de manière stable. A cet effet, le porte-contenant qui est doté pourvu d'au moins une articulation, peut ainsi, par exemple, être déployé du puits de distribution pour porter un plus grand récipient de boisson en le tenant de manière stable sous l'orifice de distribution.
