• the last notch 27c has exceeded the hooks 30, so that the entire pusher has passed the front side of the hooks 30.
• the case 1 is then in a fifth position.
• the user actuates the sleeve 20 so that the cup 15 moves rearwardly relative to the sleeve 2, the friction of the grapes 16 on the pusher 24 and the cup 15 being sufficient for the push-button 24 is driven rearward with respect to the sleeve with the cup 15.
• the last notches 27c then come into longitudinal abutment against the hooks 30, forming a stop of the push-button 24 on the sleeve 2, preventing the push-button 24 from moving further towards the the rear relative to the sheath 2.
• the cup 15 can for its part continue to move rearwardly relative to the sleeve 2, the edges of the bore 28 sliding on the second notches 27b thus forming a ramp.
• the pusher 24 may comprise a plurality of 27b notches mixed, distributed longitudinally on each arm 26 between the first notch 27a and the last notch 27c.
• the mixed notch 27b has two successive functions, since it makes it possible initially to form a stop on the hooks 30 in order to block the longitudinal translation of the pusher 24 towards the rear with respect to the sheath 2, then in a second step it makes it possible to form a stop on the base 17 of the cup 15 to block the longitudinal translation of the pusher 24 towards the rear relative to the cup 15.
• the operations for discover the grape 16 as and when its use and its wear can be repeated gradually, ensuring that the grape 16 is not discovered out of the housing of the cup 15 too much distance to the risk of breaking the grapes 16.
• the holster 1 thus described makes it possible, advantageously, to recover almost all the grapes 16.
• the pusher 24 makes it possible to gradually reveal the part of the grape 16 wedged in the cup, by pushing it out of the cup 15, into several pieces. times.
• the grape 16 remains maintained in the cup 15 satisfactorily throughout its use, the length of the side wall of the cup 15 in contact with the grape 16 decreasing with the length of the grapes 16.
• the length of the lateral wall 18 of the cup 15 may be chosen more important than in the state of the art, to ensure optimum maintenance of the grape 16 in the cup 15, before implementation of the pusher 24.
