Abstract
Container holder suitable for receiving and holding a container, the container holder including a base frame for receiving the container, and at least one supporting member. The at least one supporting member is pivotally mounted on the base frame such as to pivot between a first position in the absence of the container and a second position when the container is received in the base frame. The container holder further includes a displaceable element movably mounted in the base frame such as to move along a predetermined distance that is proportional to the pivotal angle of the at least one supporting member. A displacement sensor is responsive to the predetermined distance of the displaceable element such as to at least determine the diameter of the container when received in the container holder.
