ABSTRACT:
An article holder generates a gas flow (for example, a vortex) to hold the article at a predetermined distance from the body of the holder. Pins extend from the body of the holder and physically contact an article surface to impede the article movement along the surface. As a result, the article is prevented from bumping against the locator pins surrounding the article when the holder accelerates.
