ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for supporting a container includes a plurality of container engaging members or lobes attached to a frame. The container engaging members are pivotally mounted for rotation between fully extended positions and fully retracted positions and are biased into engagement with the container. The container engaging members each includes a camming surface configured to maintain line contact with a generally cylindrical container throughout a full range of motion. In the preferred embodiment, the camming surfaces have a variable radius of curvature. A biasing member preferably, but not exclusive, in the form of a continuous elastic band surrounds the frame and serves to bias each of the container engaging members.
