Container holder and container carrier

摘要

Container holder suitable for receiving and holding a container, the container holder including a base frame for receiving the container, and at least one supporting member. The at least one supporting member is pivotally mounted on the base frame such as to pivot between a first position in the absence of the container and a second position when the container is received in the base frame. The container holder further includes a displaceable element movably mounted in the base frame such as to move along a predetermined distance that is proportional to the pivotal angle of the at least one supporting member. A displacement sensor is responsive to the predetermined distance of the displaceable element such as to at least determine the diameter of the container when received in the container holder.

1. Container holder suitable for receiving and holding a container, said container having a diameter, said container holder comprising:
a base frame for receiving said container having a diameter; and at least one supporting member; said at least one supporting member being pivotally mounted on the base frame such as to pivot between a first position in the absence of the container and a second position when the container is received in the base frame; the container holder further comprising a displaceable element movably mounted in the base frame and connected to a lower end of the supporting member by a force transmitting connection such as to move along a predetermined distance that is proportional to the pivotal angle of said at least one supporting member; and a displacement sensor responsive to the predetermined distance of the displaceable element such as to determine at least the diameter of the container when received in the container holder.
