  • the holding fingers according to the invention each have a second finger portion, which extend from the first finger portion via a second hinge formed in the outer region to a free end.
  • the second finger portions are each inclined in the basic position relative to the central axis such that their free ends are closer to the central axis than the outer regions and that on the second joints, the second finger portions are displaced with the free ends away from the central axis to the outside ,
  • This embodiment of the invention allows the inclusion of different vessels with different diameters of a larger diameter range. Because starting from a smallest radius, which is determined by the positions in which the free ends of the second finger portions are in the basic position, in fact must exceed this distance slightly, an ever larger radius can be selected, to which the holding fingers by dodging the second finger portions outwardly determined by articulated bending along the joint in the outer region as well as by evading the first finger portions outwardly by articulating the joints in the region of the base of the retaining fingers.
  • the retaining fingers are each integrally formed.
  • the retaining fingers can also be integrally formed with the base.
  • the retaining finger itself or the retaining finger with the base is preferably at least the first or the second joint, are advantageously both hinges hinges or hinge hinges. These can be achieved for example by a corresponding material thinning in the joints or by appropriate lines.
  • the finger portions may also have a certain flexibility in itself, which is also a flexible Dodging the holding fingers and applying a secure the vessel holding in position condition.
  • a particularly suitable material for the retaining fingers is plastic, which can be determined by the choice of the particular plastic, the respective desired properties, such as flexibility, spring action in the finger sections, spring action in the joints and the like.
  • the second finger portions are advantageously divided into two subsections, starting from which the first joint first, a first subsection extends in a stronger inclination relative to the central axis and this merges in a transition region in a second subsection with respect to the central axis lesser inclination. If necessary, another joint can be formed in this region of the transition, but this is not necessary for the realization of the invention.
  • This transition region is advantageously about one third of the longitudinal extension of the second finger portions, starting from the outer region to the free ends.
  • the retaining fingers of uniform angular distribution are distributed around the central axis.
  • four retaining fingers which are arranged distributed at intervals of 90 ° at the same distance from the central axis around this proven.
  • the holder according to the invention further advantageously has a support surface formed centrally between the holding fingers, on which a vessel held in the holder can be deposited with a vessel base.
  • this bearing surface can be formed in the shape of a cup, that is to say convexly curved, in order in particular to securely support the base of tubular vessels, which typically assume a spherical shape.
