Abstract

An end cap ( 1 ) having a sidewall ( 7 ) and a front side ( 8 ). The end cap ( 1 ) includes internal ribs ( 2 ) that are inwardly directed to form a clamping receptacle for an object ( 10 ). Ribs ( 2 ) are separated from front side ( 8 ) by a space ( 3 ).

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . An end cap for the receiving and holding of objects, in which the object to be packaged is received into a holding device, formed out of several springed ribs directed radially inwards inside the end cap, which are positioned partially jammed on the outside circumference of the object to be held, characterized by that the springed ribs ( 2 ) compared with the closing front side ( 8 ) form at least a minimum spacing so that the springed ribs ( 2 ) are formed so that they can move freely against the front side ( 8 ).  
     
     
         2 . An end cape in accordance with  claim 1 , characterized by that the springed ribs ( 2 ) in the area of the opening on the front side ( 9 ) of the end cap ( 1 ) display a link ( 5 ) in the form that the springed ribs ( 2 ) display a radius running towards the outside so that a somewhat funnel shaped entrance aid is formed.  
     
     
         3 . An end cap in accordance with  claim 1  or  2  characterized by that the springed ribs ( 2 ) in the area of the front side opening ( 9 ) of the end cap (l) on the front side form a tailored corner ( 6 ).  
     
     
         4 . An end cap in accordance with one of the claims  1  through  3  characterized by that the springed ribs ( 2 ) are formed so elastically that they can be deformed up to the adjacent walling of the inside of the end cap ( 1 ).  
     
     
         5 . An end cap in accordance with one of the claims  1  through  4 , characterized by that the springed ribs ( 2 ) are also formed so elastically in the area of the front side opening ( 9 ) are formed that they can be deformed up to the adjacent walling of the inside of the end cap ( 1 ).  
     
     
         6 . An end cap in accordance with one of the claims  1  through  5 , characterized by that the end cap can be received into a receiving or packaging shell ( 12 ,  13 ) for objects.
