Abstract: A support means for supporting more than six objects is disclosed. The surt means comprises a substantially planar member having more than six siting means therein; and fixed thereto, one to each siting means, cage-like structures extending from said planar member substantially normal thereto, each cage-like structure being at least constricted at its end remote from said planar member; so that in use an object inserted in any one of said cage-like structures, and allowed to fall therein, is retained at the end thereof remote from said planar member. The planar member may be a substantially flat plate and each siting means a hole in said flat plate. The cage-like structure may, for example, be of helical form or of basket form.
