  • Patent number: 4415092
    Abstract: An open-ended holder for releasably supporting a number of uniformly shaped elongated articles. The holder will release one article as another is pushed into its place. One article can be used to directly push another from its individual holding chamber within the holder and thereby displace it. The article used as the pusher then becomes supported within the holder and the article previously held within the chamber is discharged and is free for use. Individual chambers of the holder have provisions between opposed ends for releasably supporting the articles therein. Any one of the articles, once freed, can be used to push another longitudinally from a chamber, progressively replacing it within the same chamber.
