Abstract: The invention relates to a device for holding at least two oblong articles, comprising a receiving part (4) and spring elements (8, 9, 12, 15, 22, 23) for fixing the articles. A spring element is configured as a movable locking tongue (15) which on its free end is provided with a receiving section (16) and an articulated element (17). While the first article is introduced, the free end is displaced into the deflected position when the articulated element (17) contacts the first article. When the first article comes to rest on an abutment section (20, 21), the receiving section (16) encloses the first articles to such an extent that the locking tongue (15) and, as a result, the articulated element (17) forming an abutment for the second article, is fixed in the rest position. The inventive device allows to hold articles at a relatively large distance to each other and to repeatedly remove them from and reinsert them into the device.
