Holding Element for at Least One Object

Abstract

A holding element ( 9 ) for at least one object, with a body ( 9 a ) including a point of support ( 6 ) for accommodating an object and an accommodating element ( 22 ) for the edge of a support profile to which the holding element ( 9 ) can be attached, in which the body ( 9 a ) has an outer surface ( 10 ) of which an upper limiting edge ( 20 ) adjoining the outer surface ( 10 ) forms point of support ( 6 ), and in that the accommodating element ( 22 ) for the support profile is contrived at the lower limiting edge ( 24 ) of the outer surface ( 10 ).

1 . A holding element for at least one object, comprising:
 a body having an outer surface, a point of support to accommodate at least one object and at least one accommodating element for an outer edge of a support profile to which the holding element is adapted to be attached,   wherein:
 the body is formed as a prismatic hollow body, 
 an upper limiting edge of the outer surface forming the point of support that is essentially ring-shaped, and 
 the accommodating element for the support profile is limited by at least one circular-shaped section of a lower limiting edge of the outer surface provided to rest on a surface of the support profile, and by a flange which projects downwardly from the outer surface at the lower limiting edge for resting at the outer edge of the support profile, wherein the accommodating element for the support profile is designed so that in an attached position of the holding element on the support profile, one surface on the support profile forms a base section for the holding element. 
   
   
   
       2 . The holding element of  claim 1 , wherein the flange is widened at sides thereof by spurs, said spurs defining, together with sections of the lower limiting edge of the outer surface, a slit-shaped accommodating element for the edge of the support profile. 
   
   
       3 . The holding element of  claim 1 , wherein the outer surface is essentially cylindrical. 
   
   
       4 . The holding element of  claim 1 , wherein the outer surface is broken by a slit. 
   
   
       5 . The holding element of  claim 4 , wherein the slit in the outer surface forms a second point of support for laterally accommodating another object. 
   
   
       6 . The holding element of  claim 4 , wherein the slit follows an approximately wave-shaped curved path. 
   
   
       7 . The holding element of  claim 1 , wherein the point of support is adapted to accommodate one of a dish and a dome-shaped object. 
   
   
       8 . The holding element of  claim 1 , wherein the point of support is adapted to accommodate a cylindrical insert. 
   
   
       9 . The holding element of  claim 1 , wherein, on an inside of the outer surface there is a step on which an edge of an insert inserted into the first point of support is adapted to rest. 
   
   
       10 . The holding element of  claim 1 , wherein the holding element is adapted to be one of:
 stacked on top of other holding elements and   grouped together with other holding elements.   
   
   
       11 . The holding element of  claim 1 , wherein the body is adapted to accommodate an object which is inserted all the way through said body. 
   
   
       12 . The holding element of  claim 2 , wherein at least one of:
 the spurs, and   the entire outer surface, are elastically deformable.
