Abstract: A holder for hamburgers and the like comprises a container (1) with downwardly converging side walls (2a,2b) and a support means (8) for the hamburger (15) is vertically displaceably arranged thereon. The support means is resilient and substantially V-shaped in cross section and is manually operated by means of a pressure exerted upon the side walls (2a,2b) at a region below the hamburger. The support means further has resilient flaps (14a,14b) provided to snap into openings (5) in the upper part of the container to prevent said support means (8) from unintentionally leaving the container (1).An embodiment for directly operating the support means is also described.
