Abstract
The retaining element is extended from a carousel disk in the plane of the disk and holds a bottle to be retained by the carousel essentially only at one point (T). The retaining element can be provided with an easily exchangeable finger part thus permitting quick and easy adaptation to different bottle sizes. As the retaining element swings out against the bottle without touching it during the swinging action, there is no risk of damage to the bottle.
