However, in the case of Patent Document 1, it is not necessary to store the article holding member, but the shape of the article holding member must be deformed in a high-temperature molten state, which is complicated when the number of lots is small. In addition, since wax is used, there is a problem that durability is low, such as chipping when an article is removed.
Moreover, since the patent document 2 uses various inner holders, the inner holder which is not used must be stored. Therefore, there is a problem that becomes bulky when stored.
An object of the present invention is to provide a container holder that can be easily replaced and can be stored without being bulky.

  The container holder of the present invention has a cylindrical outer holder and an inner holder inserted into the outer holder. The inner holder has a cylindrical inner peripheral wall for holding the container therein, and an outer periphery from the inner peripheral wall. And a support portion that supports the inner holder so that the inner holder does not wobble within the outer holder, and the inner holder is made of a thin plate and has at least one inner peripheral wall. It is characterized by being able to be stacked up and down so that the parts overlap.

The container holder of the present invention is preferably one in which the outer holder includes an outer cutout portion extending downward from the upper end of the cylindrical portion.
In the container holder of the present invention, it is preferable that the inner holder is composed of a flexible synthetic resin thin plate. Here, having flexibility means that when the inner holders are stacked one above the other, the inner and outer peripheral walls of the upper inner holder are slightly expanded, or the inner and outer peripheral walls of the lower inner holder are slightly reduced. And the thing of the grade which can be piled up and down without being bulky.
As the inner holder composed of such a synthetic resin thin plate, a synthetic resin sheet heated and suction-molded is preferable.
The inner holder is preferably configured to be lower than the height of the outer holder.

  It is preferable that the inner surface of the inner peripheral wall of the inner holder of the container holder of the present invention is provided with inner ribs extending in the vertical direction. An inner notch may be formed in the inner peripheral wall.

  In the container holder of the present invention, the support portion may be an outer rib extending in the vertical direction formed on the outer surface of the inner peripheral wall or a flange portion formed on the outer surface of the inner peripheral wall. When the flange portion is provided, the flange portion may include a locking structure that locks a part of the outer holder.

The container holder according to the present invention includes an inner peripheral wall having a cylindrical inner peripheral wall, an outer peripheral wall disposed with a space on the outer periphery thereof, and a connecting surface connecting the inner peripheral wall and the outer peripheral wall. What is a support part is preferable.
In such a container holder having an inner peripheral wall and an outer peripheral wall, the connecting surface is preferably an intermediate wall that elastically connects the inner peripheral wall and the outer peripheral wall.
A protrusion that extends in the vertical direction and protrudes outward is formed on the inner surface of the outer holder or the outer surface of the outer peripheral wall. The protrusion extends in the vertical direction on the outer surface of the outer peripheral wall or the inner surface of the outer holder. An engagement groove that engages with may be formed.

  The container holder of the present invention has a cylindrical outer holder and an inner holder inserted into the outer holder. The inner holder has a cylindrical inner peripheral wall for holding the container therein, and an outer periphery from the inner peripheral wall. And a support portion that supports the inner holder so that the inner holder does not wobble within the outer holder, and the inner holder is made of a thin plate and has at least one inner peripheral wall. Since the parts can be stacked one above the other so as to overlap, the volume is not bulky even if the inner holders are stacked, and storage management is easy. Further, since the support portion is provided, the strength of the entire holder can be obtained by inserting the inner holder into the outer holder even if the strength of the inner holder itself is weak. The inner holder can be easily replaced, and various containers can be stably held only by replacing the inner holder made of a thin plate in accordance with the shape of various containers.

  In the container holder of the present invention, when the outer holder has an outer cutout extending downward from the upper end of the cylindrical portion, the container fitted in the outer holder is removed while pressing the inner holder from the outer cutout. Therefore, the inner holder can be removed together with the container.

In the container holder of the present invention, when the inner holder is composed of a flexible synthetic resin thin plate, the inner holders can be easily stacked. In particular, even a shape that cannot be geometrically overlapped can be overlapped while slightly bending the inner peripheral wall of the inner holder. Further, by providing the inner holder with flexibility, the container can be elastically held by the inner peripheral wall, and a plurality of shapes of containers can be stably held.
In the container holder of the present invention, when the inner holder is a synthetic resin sheet heated and formed by suction, the inner holder can be formed thin, strong, light, and flexible. The holder can be easily molded.
Furthermore, when the inner holder is configured to be lower than the height of the outer holder, the entire container can be fixed by holding the lower side of the container, so that the degree of freedom of the shape of the container that can be held is improved.

In the container holder of the present invention, when the inner rib extending in the vertical direction is formed on the inner surface of the inner peripheral wall, the strength of the inner peripheral wall is further improved. In particular, since the strength against the rotational force is increased, when the discharge member is rotated and attached, the inner peripheral wall is deformed by the rotational force, and the container does not rotate within the inner holder.
When the inner notch is formed in the inner peripheral wall, the inner peripheral wall of the inner holder can be elastically deformed when the inner holder is attached to the outer holder. Therefore, the freedom degree of the shape with respect to the outer holder of an inner holder improves. Further, the inner holder can be firmly supported by the reaction force from the outer holder. Furthermore, the holding force of the container is increased by elastically deforming the inner peripheral wall.

In the container holder according to the present invention, when the support portion is a vertically extending outer rib formed on the outer surface of the inner peripheral wall, the outer rib abuts against the outer holder and supports the inner holder so that it does not wobble. Acts as a support.
When the support portion is a flange portion formed on the outer surface of the inner peripheral wall, the flange portion abuts on the inner periphery of the outer holder and supports the inner holder. When the flange includes a locking structure that locks with a part of the outer holder, the flange is prevented from coming off when the container is removed from the inner holder.

A container holder according to the present invention, wherein the inner holder includes a cylindrical inner peripheral wall, an outer peripheral wall disposed with a space on the outer periphery thereof, and a connecting surface connecting the inner peripheral wall and the outer peripheral wall. When the wall is a support portion, the container may be inserted into the cylindrical inner peripheral wall, and the operation is simple. Moreover, since the connection surface is provided, the connection surface exhibits the effect of the rib, and the strength of the inner peripheral wall is increased. Even when an external force is applied to the inner holder, the outer peripheral wall is in contact with the inner surface of the outer holder, so that even if it has flexibility, the connecting surface serves as a support to prevent deformation.
When the connecting surface is an intermediate wall that elastically connects the inner peripheral wall and the outer peripheral wall, the inner peripheral wall of the inner holder can be elastically deformed when the inner holder is attached to the outer holder. Therefore, the freedom degree of the shape with respect to the outer holder of an inner holder improves. The inner holder can be firmly supported by the reaction force from the outer holder. Further, the holding force of the container is increased by elastically deforming the intermediate wall.
A protrusion that extends in the vertical direction and protrudes outward is formed on the inner surface of the outer holder or the outer surface of the outer peripheral wall, and extends in the vertical direction on the outer surface of the outer peripheral wall or the inner surface of the outer holder. When the engaging groove to be engaged is formed, the rotation between the outer holder and the inner holder can be prevented.

A container holder 10 in FIG. 1 includes a cylindrical outer holder 11 and an inner holder 12 that is inserted into the outer holder 11 and holds the container therein. The inner holder 12 is made of a flexible synthetic resin. It consists of a thin plate. The container holder 10 is suitable for holding a non-cylindrical container (for example, an elliptical cylinder, a polygonal cylinder, or an approximate shape) or a small container, and holds the container by the inner peripheral wall 16 of the inner holder 12. The inner holder 12 is supported in the outer holder 11 by the support portion (the outer peripheral wall 17) of the inner holder 12.
The container holder 10 can hold containers of other shapes by replacing the inner holder 12. At this time, the exchanged inner holder 12 can be piled up and down several times without being bulky, for example, as shown in FIG.
The container holder 10 can stably hold a non-cylindrical container as shown in the container B of FIG. 2a.

The container B includes a non-cylindrical trunk B1, a bottom B2 that closes the lower end thereof, and a cylindrical mouth B3 provided at the upper end thereof. The inner peripheral wall 16 of the inner holder 12 holds the container B in contact with a circumscribed circle (maximum outer peripheral portion B _max ) in plan view of the body portion B1. In the container B of FIG. 2a, the outer periphery of the trunk portion B1 in the vertical direction is the maximum outer peripheral portion _Bmax . The mouth B3 is formed with a male screw or the like to fix the lid or the discharge member. The mouth portion B3 is disposed coaxially with the outer holder 11.

Returning to FIG. 1, the outer holder 11 is a hard body composed of a cylindrical body 11 a and a bottom 11 b that closes the lower end thereof. When the inner holder is not inserted, the body 11a can be used as a holder for holding a discharge container such as a general aerosol container or a pump container or a container for cosmetics or beverages. The body 11a may not have a circular cross section on the inner surface. By making the cross section of the inner surface of the body part 11a into a circle, versatility is achieved.
The material of the outer holder 11 is not particularly limited as long as it is hard, and is formed of synthetic resin or metal.

The inner holder 12 includes a cylindrical inner peripheral wall 16 that holds the container, an outer peripheral wall 17 that is disposed with a space around the inner peripheral wall, and a connecting portion 18 that connects the inner peripheral wall 16 and the outer peripheral wall 17. I have. The connecting portion 18 of the inner holder 12 connects the upper ends of the inner peripheral wall 16 and the outer peripheral wall 17. The lower end of the inner peripheral wall 16 is closed with an inner bottom 16a.
As shown in FIG. 1B, the inner peripheral wall 16 has an elliptical or oval cross section and has the same shape in the vertical direction. Oval or oblong This cross-section abuts the maximum outer peripheral portion B _max of the container B, or is configured to engage or fit. However, the inner circumferential wall 16, other shapes in cross-section circumscribing the maximum outer peripheral portion B _max (e.g., circular, polygonal, etc.) may be cylindrical with a. By adopting a flat shape such as an ellipse, an ellipse, or a rectangle, the rotation of the container B relative to the inner holder 12 can be efficiently prevented.
The outer peripheral wall 17 has a cylindrical shape having a diameter substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the inner surface of the outer holder 11.
The connecting portion 18 is configured so that the inner peripheral wall 16 and the outer peripheral wall 17 are coaxial with the center C of the mouth B3 of the container B held by the inner peripheral wall 16 and the center of the outer holder 11 (or the outer peripheral wall 17). It is a part to connect.

The inner holder 12 is composed of a thin synthetic resin thin plate having flexibility. Here, having flexibility means that the inner peripheral wall 16 and the outer peripheral wall 17 of the upper inner holder 12 are slightly expanded when the inner holder 12 is stacked vertically, or the inner peripheral wall 16 of the lower inner holder 12 is expanded. The outer peripheral wall 17 is slightly reduced and can be stacked up and down without being bulky (see FIG. 1c). Further, when the inner peripheral wall 16 of the inner holder 12 is configured to engage with or fit into the container B (or when a container B having a shape slightly larger than the inner peripheral wall 16 is inserted), the container is attached to the inner peripheral wall 16. When B is inserted, the inner peripheral wall 16 expands slightly and the container B can be held elastically.
In FIG. 1, the inner peripheral wall 16 and / or the outer peripheral wall 17 having the same shape in the vertical direction are disclosed. However, as shown in FIG. 1d, a shape in which the inner holder 12a can be easily overlapped may be used. That is, the outer peripheral wall may have a shape that slightly expands downward. Moreover, it is good also as a shape where an inner peripheral wall shrinks slightly toward the downward direction. Thereby, more inner holders can be stacked without being bulky up and down. In this case, the inner holder may not have flexibility. The inner holder 12a is supported by contacting the inner surface of the outer holder 11 at the bottom of the outer peripheral wall 17. However, by providing flexibility, the outer peripheral wall 17 can be inserted into the outer holder 11 while being reduced, and can be inserted as shown in FIG. 1a. Further, the container B can be held more stably by inserting the container B while expanding the inner peripheral wall 16.

As the inner holder 12, a synthetic resin sheet heated and molded by suction is used. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, a mold K having an inner surface of the same shape as the inner surface of the outer holder, and a wooden mold W disposed in the inner shape and having an outer shape of the same shape as the inner surface of the inner peripheral wall 16 of the inner holder An apparatus consisting of The mold K includes an inner surface K1 having substantially the same shape as the inner surface of the outer holder, and a bottom surface K2 that closes the lower end thereof, and a plurality of vacuum suction holes K3 are formed at the edge of the bottom surface K2. Moreover, the recessed part K4 in which the wooden form W is inserted is formed in the bottom face of the bottom face K2. Here, in the wooden mold W, the recess K4 is formed so that the center of the mouth B3 of the container B is the center of the inner surface K2.
The wooden mold W is a column having an ellipse or an ellipse in cross section whose major axis (or long side) is the same as or slightly smaller than the maximum outer peripheral part of the container B.
A wooden mold W is placed on the mold K, and a heated synthetic resin sheet S is placed on the upper surface opening of the mold K (see FIGS. 3a and 3b). Next, air between the mold K and the wooden mold W is sucked from the suction hole K3. Thereby, the synthetic resin sheet S heated and softened is deformed along the shape of the inner surface of the mold K and the outer surface of the wooden mold W. Finally, the synthetic resin sheet is cooled, and the inner holder 12 is formed by cutting the outer periphery into a predetermined shape.
FIG. 3 shows one of the manufacturing methods for molding the flexible inner holder 12, and the manufacturing method is not particularly limited. For example, you may shape | mold by injection molding.

Since the container holder 10 is configured in this way, as shown in FIG. 2c, the filling method of the contents into the container B held by the container holder 10 is facilitated. That is, the container B can be stably held on the conveyor only by setting the container B in the inner holder 12 of the container holder 10 placed on the conveyor X or the like. Therefore, the contents can be filled by the filling machine Z, and a lid or a discharge member Y can be attached to the container B, thereby simplifying the production process. In particular, by making the cross section of the inner peripheral wall 16 of the inner holder an ellipse or an ellipse, the container B does not rotate with respect to the container holder 10, so that the contents can be filled or the lid, the discharge member, and the like can be easily attached.
Also, when changing to a production line related to a container B having another shape, the inner holder 12 of the container holder 10 may be replaced with an inner holder for the container B having another shape. At this time, since the exchanged inner holder 12 can be bundled several times without being bulky, it does not take a place for storage.

  The inner holder 21 shown in FIG. 4 can be replaced with the inner holder 12 of the container holder 10 shown in FIG. 1, and four ribs 22 extending in the vertical direction are formed on the inner surface of the inner peripheral wall 16 of the inner holder 21. It is. However, this number is not particularly limited. By providing the rib 22 on the inner peripheral wall 16 in this manner, the strength of the inner holder 21 in the rotational direction and the vertical direction is increased, and the container B is stably held when the lid, the discharge member, and the like are mounted. The other configuration is substantially the same as the inner holder 12 of FIG. 1, and includes an outer peripheral wall 17 and a connecting portion 18.

The container holder 30 in FIG. 5 is for holding the tube container T, and includes an outer holder 11 and an inner holder 32 inserted therein. The outer holder 11 is substantially the same as the outer holder 11 of FIG. The inner holder 32 is substantially the same as the inner holder 12 in FIG. 1 except that a recess 32a into which the mouth T1 of the tube container T can be inserted is formed in the inner bottom 16a of the inner peripheral wall 16. A wall 17 and a connecting portion 18 are provided. The inner peripheral wall 16 is formed coaxially with the outer holder 11.
The tube container T is manufactured by filling the contents from the lower end opening and then closing the lower end opening. Therefore, the contents are filled with the mouth T1 facing downward. After filling the contents, the lower end opening is sealed by adhesive, welding, or the like.
Since the container holder 30 stably holds the tube container T with the lower end opening opened upside down, the filling of the contents and the sealing process of the lower end opening can be facilitated.
Further, since the inner holder 32 is also flexible, it can be stored in a plurality of layers vertically without being bulky.

  The container holder 40 of FIG. 6 includes an outer holder 41 and an inner holder 42 inserted therein, and is provided with a rotation restricting means so that the inner holder 42 does not rotate within the outer holder 41.

  As shown in FIGS. 6b and 6c, the outer holder 41 is a hard member composed of a cylindrical body portion 41a and a bottom portion 41b provided at the lower end thereof. On the inner surface of the body portion 41a, a plurality of protrusions 41c extending in the vertical direction are formed in an annular shape. A center hole 41d is formed in the bottom 41b. By providing the central hole 41d, it is possible to provide a display such as a production number by printing or embossing on the bottom surface of the container B simultaneously with the filling process of the contents and the like. The outer holder 41 may also be a cylinder having a cross-sectional shape other than a circle.

As shown in FIGS. 6d and 6e, the inner holder 42 includes a cylindrical inner peripheral wall 46 for holding the container, an outer peripheral wall 47 disposed with a space around the inner peripheral wall, an inner peripheral wall 46 and the outer peripheral wall. And a connecting portion 48 for connecting the upper ends of 47. In addition, a through hole 46 b for providing a display such as a serial number on the bottom surface of the container B is formed in the inner bottom 46 a constituting the lower end of the inner peripheral wall 46. Further, the inner holder 42 is formed lower than the inner height of the outer holder 41.
The inner peripheral wall 46 has a substantially rectangular cross section (see FIG. 6d). Two opposing long sides 45a of the rectangle of this cross section are bent slightly inward from the center. Thereby, the container B of various shapes (particularly, the container B having a flat cross section) can be contacted or engaged (or fitted), and the container B can be stably held. In this embodiment, the short side 45b is straight, but the short side may be bent inward. Moreover, the long side and the short side may be bent outward. Also, ribs 45c projecting inward are formed at the four corners.
The outer peripheral wall 47 has a cylindrical shape having a diameter substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the inner surface of the outer holder 41, and a groove 47a through which the protrusion 41c of the outer holder 41 passes vertically is formed on the outer surface (FIG. 6d, e). The outer peripheral wall 47 is slightly tapered downward, and the inner holders 42 are stacked without further bulking.
The connecting portion 48 is a portion that connects the upper end of the inner peripheral wall 46 and the upper end of the outer peripheral wall 47. In this embodiment, the inner peripheral wall 46 is configured to be at the center of the outer peripheral wall 47.
Furthermore, the height of the inner holder 42 is configured to be smaller than the height of the outer holder 41. Thus, by lowering the height of the inner holder 42, the container can be reliably held by holding the lower part of the container regardless of the upper shape of the container. Therefore, the degree of freedom of the container that can be used is high.

  Similarly to the inner holder 12 in FIG. 1, the inner holder 42 is also made of a thin plate made of a synthetic resin that is thin enough to have flexibility. The inner holder 42 is manufactured in the same manner as the inner holder 12 of FIG.

Here, the imaginary line indicates the lid B4. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 7d and 7e, when the container B is inserted so that the long diameter of the body B1 of the container B and the long side 45a of the inner peripheral wall 46 are parallel to each other, the bent long side 45a is The container B can be stably held by contacting or engaging so as to wrap the body B1. In this embodiment, the inner peripheral wall 46 is slightly expanded and engaged with the container B. Therefore, the container B can be held elastically and stably.
Further, since the rotation of the outer holder 41 and the inner holder 42 is restricted by the rotation restricting means (the protrusion 41c and the groove 47a), when the discharge member B3 or the lid B4 is attached or during other processes, The inner holder 42 is rotated with respect to the outer holder 41, and the position of the container B is prevented from shifting. As a rotation restricting means, a protrusion may be provided on the outer peripheral wall of the inner holder, and a groove may be provided on the inner surface of the outer holder.
A plurality of the inner holders 42 can be stored one above the other without being bulky. Further, since the inner holder 42 is tapered so that the outer peripheral wall expands slightly downward, it can be stored without further bulking.
In this embodiment, the protrusion 41c is formed on the inner surface of the outer holder 41 and the groove 47a is formed on the outer surface of the outer peripheral wall 47 of the inner holder 42. However, the groove is formed on the inner surface of the outer holder 41, A protrusion may be provided on the outer surface of the outer peripheral wall of the inner holder 42.

And a wall 73. The inner holder 67 is configured such that the outer diameter of the outer peripheral wall is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the outer holder 66. Since the inner holder 61 includes an inner peripheral wall 71, an intermediate wall 73, and an outer peripheral wall 72, the diameter is reduced by moving each of the inner holder 61 and the outer peripheral wall 72 in parallel with the vertical axis, and the inner holder 61 is moved to make an angle with respect to the vertical direction. By expanding the diameter, it has elasticity in the radial direction. The inner peripheral wall 71, the outer peripheral wall 72, and the intermediate wall 73 are preferably cylindrical.

The inner peripheral wall 71 is configured to reduce in diameter downward, and is formed so that two inner peripheral wall cutouts 71a face each other downward from the upper end.
The outer peripheral wall 72 is configured to reduce in diameter downward, and is formed such that the outer peripheral wall cutout 72a overlaps the inner peripheral wall cutout 71a from the upper side to the lower side. An outer flange 72b that is engaged with the upper end of the outer holder 66 is formed at the upper end of the outer peripheral wall 72. A groove 72c that engages with the protrusion 66c of the outer holder is formed in the vertical direction on the outer surface of the outer holder 66. Is formed.
The intermediate wall 73 is configured to increase in diameter downward, and is formed so that the intermediate wall notch 73a overlaps the inner peripheral wall notch 71a downward from the upper end.
Since each has an inner peripheral wall cutout 71a, an outer peripheral wall cutout 72a, and an intermediate wall cutout 73a (corresponding to the inner cutout in total), the inner peripheral wall of the inner holder 61 can be reduced by narrowing the cutouts. 71, the intermediate | middle wall 73, and the outer peripheral wall 72 have elasticity in a radial direction, respectively.
That is, the inner holder 67 is elastically deformed according to the angles of the inner peripheral wall 71, the intermediate wall 73, and the outer peripheral wall 72, and the size of the respective notches.

With this configuration, the inner holder 67 is attached to the outer holder 6 as shown in FIG.
6, the outer surface of the outer peripheral wall 72 of the inner holder 67 moves so as to contact the inner surface of the outer holder 66. Since the inner surface of the outer holder 66 is cylindrical, the outer peripheral wall 72 moves so that the upper and lower ends are parallel to the vertical direction, as shown in FIG. 9b. In this state, when the container B is inserted into the inner holder 66, the inner surface of the inner peripheral wall of the inner holder 67 moves so as to contact the surface of the container B. Since the outer surface of the container B is cylindrical, the inner peripheral wall 71 moves so that the upper and lower ends are parallel to the vertical direction.
By deforming the inner holder 67 in this way, the inner holder 67 is reliably supported by the outer holder 66 by the reaction force of the elastic force, and the container B is firmly held by the inner holder 6.
Note that a plurality of container holders 65 can be gathered in layers, and no space is required for storage.
The container holder 65a of FIGS. 9c and 9d differs from the container holder 65 in that the inner holder 67 is configured to be lower than the outer holder 66 and that the inner holder 67 does not include the outer flange 72b. Thus, by making the inner holder 67 lower than the outer holder 66, the lower part of the container can be held regardless of the upper shape of the container, and the degree of freedom of the container that can be used is high.

The container holder 80 of FIG. 10 includes an outer holder 11 and an inner holder 81 inserted therein, and a flange portion 81b serving as a support portion is formed directly on an inner peripheral wall 81a of the inner holder 81. The outer holder 11 is substantially the same as the outer holder 11 of FIG.
The inner holder 81 includes a cylindrical inner peripheral wall 81a and a flange portion 81b that protrudes outward from the upper end thereof. The front end of the flange portion 81 b is configured to contact the inner surface of the outer holder 11. Further, the inner peripheral wall 81a forms an elliptical or oval cylinder similar to the inner peripheral wall 16 of FIG. The other structure is substantially the same as that of the inner holder 12 in FIG. 1, and is composed of a synthetic resin thin plate having flexibility.
Thus, the support part of this invention should just protrude outside from an inner peripheral wall, and should contact | abut with the inner surface of an outer holder so that an inner holder may be supported stably.

The container holder 85 shown in FIG. 11 includes an outer holder 86 and an inner holder 87 inserted into the outer holder 86. The inner holder 87 includes a flange portion 87b like the container holder 80 shown in FIG.

The inner holder 87 includes a cylindrical inner peripheral wall 87a and a flange portion 87b that protrudes outward from the upper end. The flange portion 87 b is formed so as to correspond to the outer notch portion 86 c of the outer holder 86. Therefore, in this embodiment, the two flange portions 87b are formed to face each other. Further, a key part 87c extending downward is formed at the tip of the flange part 87b, and is configured to be able to be engaged with the bottom part of the outer notch part 86c of the outer holder 86.

Since the inner holder 87 is inserted into the outer holder 86, the flange portion 87 b of the inner holder is engaged with the lower end of the outer notch portion 86 c of the outer holder 86. Thus, since the flange part 87b is provided with the latching structure which latches with a part of outer holder, when removing a container from an inner holder, a common omission is prevented. Further, since the flange portion 87b is inserted between the outer notches 86c, the inner holder 87 can be prevented from rotating with respect to the outer holder 86.
In this embodiment, the flange locking structure (key part 87c) can be locked with the outer notch 87, but the outer holder is not provided with the outer notch and is engaged with the upper end of the barrel of the outer holder. It may be possible to stop.

The container holder 90 of FIG. 12 includes an outer holder 91 and an inner holder 92 inserted therein, and ribs 92b that are directly supported on the outer surface of the inner peripheral wall 92a of the inner holder 92 are formed. .
The outer holder 91 is a rigid body composed of a cylindrical body portion 91a and a bottom portion 91b provided at the lower end thereof, and a tapered surface 91c whose diameter is reduced downward is formed in an annular shape on the inner surface of the body portion 91a. A center hole 91d is formed in the bottom 91b.
