STRUCTURE DE SUPPORT RETENANT UNE PLURALITÉ DE RÉCIPIENTS CONTENANT DES SUBSTANCES DESTINÉES À DES APPLICATIONS MÉDICALES, PHARMACEUTIQUES OU COSMÉTIQUES ET RÉCIPIENT DE TRANSPORT OU D'EMBALLAGE COMPRENANT LADITE STRUCTURE
The invention relates to a supporting structure with a plurality of containers (60) for substances for pharmaceutical, medical or cosmetic applications supported at the supporting structure, the containers having a base body (62) which merges at an upper end into a shoulder portion (64) followed by a narrowed neck portion (65) having a widened upper rim with an opening (67). The supporting structure comprises a plurality of receptacles (5) arranged in a regular arrangement and formed by circumferential side walls (10), wherein the containers (60) are accommodated in the receptacles (5), and wherein holding projections (22) for holding the containers in the receptacles are provided at the lower ends of the receptacles, said holding projections projecting radially inwardly into the receptacles at the lower ends.According to the invention, centering members (15) for centering the containers (60) in the receptacles (5) are disposed above the holding projections (22), wherein the centering members (15) are bevelled and project into the receptacles, for reducing a width of the receptacles in a funnel-shaped manner at their lower ends, wherein the containers are supported directly on the holding projections.This makes it easy to accomplish a self-centering of the containers. The containers can be guided into a desired position with low friction when they are inserted vertically from above, without there being any risk of jamming of the containers.
