DEVICE FOR KEEPING, ESPECIALLY, ELASTIC RECEPTACLES AT A FILLING NOZZLE

摘要

A device for temporarily holding containers on a feed connection piece includes a plurality of expanding segments surrounding the connecting piece and being held in position thereon by a resilient sleeve. Lower parts of respective segments extend over a lower edge on the connecting piece and are tilted by levers attached to a top edge of respective segments so as to expand the elastic sleeve into engagement with an inner surface of a container. The expanding segments are returned into their rest position by the resilient constricting force of the sleeve.
