<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a container retaining device that reliably supports a container, in other words, prevents the container from falling down and has no risk that the container is caught by a member of a retaining means. <P>SOLUTION: The container retaining device 1 is composed of a bottomed tubular holder 2 from which the container 6 can be freely taken out to the upper side; and an abutting member 4 which faces an opening 2c formed in a lateral surface 2a of the holder 2 and is always biased in a direction in which it is in contact with a pressure on a peripheral wall 6a of the container 6. The abutting member 4 is composed of a restraining part 4a which can abut the peripheral wall 6a of the container 6 from a lateral direction; a guide part 4d, which is pivotally supported by a rotation center shaft 3e formed on a case 3 fixed to the holder 2 and can guide the abutting member 4 in a vertical direction or an appearing/disappearing direction from the opening 2c; and a lower sliding part 4f which is retained by the lateral surface 2a of the holder 2 even when biased by a biasing means 5 and can be detached from the lateral surface 2a of the holder 2 by the force that inserts the container 6 against a biasing means 5. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
