Abstract: A glass holder for glasses having a narrow neck and a wider base has a vertically movable stand element formed so that a base of a glass is placeable on the stand element, at least two movable holding-down devices which are spaced from one another and in a holding position engage over the base of a glass standing on the stand element, and in a removal position are moved outwards, and a locking mechanism which, when the stand element has been moved downwards locks the holding-down devices against movement from the holding position into the removal position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a holder (10) for a beverage container, which is provided in the construction of a motor vehicle. The invention proposes that the holder (10) is formed with two extensions (14, 16), which are displaceable from a base position in a housing (12) into a use position extended away from the housing (12). One of the two extensions (14) has a champagne glass holder (28), on which a champagne glass is held in a stabile manner with its foot by means of downwardly pivoting holding-down devices (36).

Abstract: A beverage holder for a beverage container for example a can, a cup, or a beaker is provided for installation into a dashboard of a motor vehicle and has a pulled-out portion arranged to be displaceably guided as a drawer and having an insertion opening for a beverage container, wherein the beverage container has a shape of an arc of a circle and is provided with an arcuate slide guide and a support rotatable through 180° for supporting the inserted beverage container securely against tipping over.

Abstract: A yarn brake having two disklike or platelike brake elements pressed resiliently against one another has a substantially U-shaped bail (19) with two legs extending in spaced apart fashion an either side of the brake elements. Pinlike bearing means for the brake elements are secured to this bail by means of at least one bearing part receiving them, which part is embodied on or joined to at least one of the bail legs. At least one of the brake elements has a central opening, through which the bearing means extend.

Abstract: A feeder device for feeding elastomer yarns in knitting machines has a housing split into two parts, on which bearing and drive rollers are rotatably supported, spaced apart from and parallel to one another. The housing encloses an internal chamber that accommodates gears for driving at least one of the bearing and drive rollers. The gears transmit force from a drive wheel, which is secured to a shaft protruding from the housing, to at least one bearing and drive roller. The bearing and drive rollers are supported via ball bearings, which are retained by corresponding bearing seats provided in the housing. The bearing seats are recessed in the respective integrally formed housing parts, which are preferably made by injection molding. The dividing line at which the housing parts border on one another extends through all the bearing seats, so that the ball bearings are retained between the housing parts.Securing the housing parts to one another fixes the ball bearings as well, simultaneously.
