Abstract: A mechanism for holding at least one article in an enclosure having a sliding cover. The mechanism includes a first track, a second track, and a third track configured on a wall of the enclosure. The third track is configured to hold the articles in a holding position. The mechanism further includes a track changing mechanism and a supporting link. The track changing mechanism connects the first track to the second track and to the third track. The supporting link supports and prevents the lateral movement of the article from the holding position.

Abstract: A mechanism for holding an article. The mechanism includes a rotatable member, at least two holding members and a sensor. The rotatable member is rotatably mounted below a base and controlled by a motor to rotate around a vertical rotation axis. The holding members are each mechanically linked by a connecting member to the rotatable member. The rotation of the rotatable member in a first direction moves the holding member from a rest position to a holding position and rotation of the rotatable member in a second direction moves the holding member to the rest position. The sensor is arranged on the base and adapted to sense the article in proximity. The sensor upon sensing the article rotates the rotatable member in the first direction to move the holding members to the holding position and rotates the rotatable member in the second direction upon removal the article from the base.

Abstract: A mechanism for holding an article in a storage compartment. The storage compartment is delimited by a first wall and a second wall and each of the first wall and the second wall is having a first recess and a second recess. The mechanism includes a holder element, a supporting element, a locking element and a handling member. The holder element is articulated in the first wall. The supporting element is pivotally configured on the holder element for supporting a bottom portion of the article in a holding position. The locking element engages a first recess to lock the holder element in a non-holding position and engages a second recess to lock the holder element in the holding position. The handling member is configured on the second member for unlocking the locking element from the first and second recesses to move the holder element between the holding and non-holding positions.
