[0010] This configuration is very unique and can be easily formed in one extrusion process.

[0011] Preferably, the base comprises a convex outer surface protruding in the direction of the holder.

[0012] This configuration is very stable and allows the cartridge to be supported stably.

[0013] The diameter of the base can be, for example, 17 mm to 32 mm, in particular 24 mm. The height of the base can be 2 mm to 4 mm, in particular 3 mm.

[0014] Said dimensions are very material-efficient while allowing a normal cartridge to be supported reliably.

[0015] Preferably, the base comprises one or more, in particular arc-shaped, recesses at one or more sides of the base.

[0016] Such a recess allows material to be saved and improves the handling of the support.

[0017] Preferably, the retainer comprises between three and ten ribs.

[0018] This number of ribs allows a good grip between cartridge and holder and a good stability of the holder.

[0019] Preferably, the groove is arranged between two adjacent ribs of the holder.

[0020] Such a recess allows saving of material and improves the stability of the holder.

[0021] Preferably, the base has an at least approximately circular design.

[0022] This configuration is very stable and saves material.

[0023] Preferably, the base has an at least approximately rectangular design, wherein two sides of the base comprise the recess and two sides of the base comprise the nose.

[0024] In particular, the base has a puzzle-shaped design. Such stands can be arranged on flat surfaces in a very space-saving manner. In addition, they are very stable.

[0025] Preferably, the side length of the base is 40 mm to 60 mm, in particular 42 mm and / or 55 mm, and / or the height of the base is 1 mm to 3 mm, in particular 2 mm.

[0026] Said dimensions are very material-efficient while allowing a normal cartridge to be supported reliably.

[0027] Preferably, the sides comprising the recess are arranged opposite to each other. Preferably, the sides comprising the nose are arranged opposite to each other.

[0028] Such supports can be easily joined to one another to form a closed (puzzle-like) pattern.

[0029] Preferably, the shape of the edge including the nose is concave, and the nose protrudes from the center of the corresponding concave edge. Preferably, the shape of the edge including the recess is convex, and the recess is arranged at the center of the corresponding convex edge.

[0030] Such supports can be easily joined to one another to form a closed (jigsaw-like) pattern.

[0031] Preferably, the nose is partly circular in shape. Preferably, the recess is partly circular in shape.

[0032] Such nose and recess are easy to form and engage with each other.

[0033] Preferably, the nose is formed to be complementary in shape to the recess.

[0034] This configuration allows the bases of the various supports to be joined in a jigsaw-like manner.

[0035] According to the invention, a system of supports comprises two or more supports as described above, which supports have at least a substantially rectangular design. A corresponding nose of one of the two or more supports is received in a corresponding recess of another of the two or more supports.

[0036] In particular, the plurality of noses of the plurality of supports are received in a jigsaw-like manner by corresponding ones of the plurality of recesses of the plurality of supports.Such a system of supports can be arranged in a very space-saving manner to form a flat support for various cartridges.
