Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008064748A1] The invention relates to a tube holder for a tube filling machine having a cup-shaped housing which comprises a tube receptacle opening upwards, in which a tube can be inserted with one end area thereof. At least one vertical groove is constructed in the area of the inner wall of the tube receptacle, into which groove a tensioning element is inserted. The tensioning element can be radially displaced substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tube receptacle and is pivotably mounted about a swivel axis which extends substantially tangential to the inner wall of the tube receptacle. By means of the tensioning element, a tensioning force which is applied radially from outside onto the inserted tube can be applied using the action of at least one spring element. The tensioning element comprises an upper 1. section, which is arranged above the swivel axis on the side of the swivel axis facing towards the opening of the tube receptacle, and a lower 2. section, which is arranged below the swivel axis on the side of the swivel axis facing away from the opening of the tube receptacle. The swivel axis is constructed on a swivel bearing which allows a radial displacement of the swivel bearing. At least one first spring element on the upper 1. section of the tensioning element and at least one second spring element on the lower 2. section of the tensioning element engages with said swivel bearing.
