According to the invention, the container is cylindrically shaped, and a stop element ( 16 ) is integrated in each receiver ( 15 ), said element limiting the axial movement of the container in the receiver ( 15 ).

Claims (13)

1. A receptacle ( 10 ) for pharmaceutical containers, in which a multiplicity of containers are arranged next to one another and one behind the other in rows, the containers each being arranged in receivers ( 15 ), characterized in that each of the containers is of cylindrical design and in that a respective discontinuous stop element ( 16 ) is assigned to each receiver ( 15 ), said stop element ( 16 ) limiting the axial movement of each container in each receiver ( 15 ), and characterized in that each receiver ( 15 ) has two longitudinal slots ( 17 , 18 ) for a lifting element of a manipulating device, said longitudinal slots ( 17 , 18 ) being arranged offset from one another by 180 degrees, and the longitudinal slots ( 17 , 18 ) of all the receivers ( 15 ) located next to one another in a row are in alignment.

2. The receptacle as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that each of the slots is formed at a circumference of each receiver ( 15 ) and extends in a longitudinal direction thereof.

3. The receptacle as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that an insertion bevel ( 19 ) is formed on a top side of each of the receivers ( 15 ).

4. The receptacle as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the receivers ( 15 ) are connected to a support wall ( 11 ).

5. The receptacle as claimed in claim 4 , characterized in that the support wall ( 11 ) has at least one aperture ( 12 , 13 ) for manipulating the receptacle ( 10 ).

6. The receptacle as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the receptacle ( 10 ) is an injection molding.

7. The receptacle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the receivers ( 15 ) are tubular.

8. The receptacle as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the receivers ( 15 ) are connected to a support wall ( 11 ) which terminates flush with a top side of the receivers ( 15 ).

9. The receptacle as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the stop element ( 16 ) in each receiver ( 15 ) is a drawn-in retaining edge.

10. The receptacle as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the stop element ( 16 ) in each receiver ( 15 ) is a circumferential ledge inside the receiver ( 15 ).

11. The receptacle as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that each of the receivers ( 15 ) includes no more than two of the longitudinal slots ( 17 , 18 ).

12. The receptacle as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the longitudinal slots ( 17 , 18 ) extend approximately half an axial length of each of the receivers ( 15 ).

13. The receptacle as claimed in claim 1 wherein the longitudinal slots ( 17 , 18 ) extend axially from an underside of the each receiver ( 15 ) and form a through-opening in an axial direction of each the receiver ( 15 ).
