Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a holding device for holding an object on a component according to the preamble of claim 1 . Background Art

[0002] This holding device comprises a first locking part, which has an insertion opening and a moving section connected to the insertion opening, the moving section has two edge sections extending along the moving direction, and the first locking part realizes a so-called female part. The holding device also includes a second locking part, which has a coupling element with a head and a rod extending from the head, and realizes a so-called male part. In order to close the holding device to hold the object at the component, the coupling element can be inserted into the insertion opening of the first locking part with the head, and then move from the area of ​​the insertion opening to the moving section along the moving direction, so that the coupling element engages the edge section with the head at the rear during the movement, and extends through the edge sections with the rod and slides along the edge sections until the coupling element reaches a holding position in which the first locking part and the second locking part are held at each other. The first locking part and the second locking part can be separated from each other to remove the object from the component.

[0003] Such a holding device can be used in particular as a tool holding device, for example for holding a tool on a tool belt. The first closure part can be fixed on the belt, for example, so that the tool can be arranged on the belt and connected to the belt via the holding device.

[0004] Such a holding device should be easy to operate for the user, for example, to hold a tool, and in the holding position establish a secure connection between the object and the component. Holding devices, in particular for holding tools, should be easy and comfortable for the user to operate even in harsh environments, for example in industrial applications, for example when using the tool in construction. An object, in particular a tool, should be connectable to the associated component in a simple and secure manner via the holding device, be held securely and load-bearingly on the component in the holding position, and also be able to be separated from the component again in a simple and intuitive manner. The holding device should also be as insensitive as possible to contamination.

[0005] The holding device known from US Pat. No. 10,271,634 is designed as a tool holder and has a locking part on which a displacement section is formed, into which another locking part with a spherical engagement element can be pushed. In the end position, the engagement element can be tilted by 90° so that in the end position it can be brought into a suspended position. Summary of the invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a holding device for holding an object on a component which can be operated easily and conveniently by the user even in industrial applications and which in the holding position can provide a secure hold of the object on the component.

[0007] This object is achieved by the subject matter having the features of claim 1 .

[0008] The first locking part thus has a first magnetic element and the second locking part has a second magnetic element. The first magnetic element and the second magnetic element act together in a magnetically attractive manner to support the insertion of the engagement element into the insertion opening. The first locking part has a housing formed by at least one housing part and a locking element adjustably arranged on the housing for locking the engagement element in a holding position.

[0009] The holding device is used to hold an object on an assembly, for example, to hold a tool on an associated carrier, such as a tool belt. Thus, for example, a tool, such as a hammer or an electric tool, such as an electric screwdriver, etc., can be connected to an associated carrier via the holding device, so that the tool is safely and securely held on the carrier in a holding position.

[0010] In order to reliably hold and also for a simple and comfortable connection of the object to the assembly, the first locking part of the holding device has an insertion opening and a moving section connected to the insertion opening. The moving section has two edge sections extending along the moving direction. The second locking part has an engagement element opposite thereto. In order to close the holding device, the engagement element can be inserted into the insertion opening of the first locking part with the head, so that the head is then pushed into the moving section from the area of ​​the insertion opening along the moving direction, thereby establishing a connection between the locking parts. In the holding position, the engagement element is engaged in the moving section in a form-fitting manner, thereby establishing a connection between the locking parts.

[0011] The edge segments of the moving segment can extend parallel to each other in the moving direction or can be oriented at a (small) angle of up to 15° relative to the moving direction. If the edge segments are oriented at an angle relative to the moving direction, the edge segments converge towards each other in the moving direction, so that the slit formed between the edge segments tapers in the moving direction.

[0012] The moving section can be designed to be longer than the width in terms of its extension in the moving direction, preferably to be twice as long as the width. Usually, the moving section is designed to be long so that the engagement element can be pushed from the insertion opening into the moving section until it is pushed into the holding position, wherein during the movement, the head engages the edge section behind and the rod extends through between the edge sections, so that during the movement, the engagement element is already held in a positive fit on the first locking part in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction and the transverse direction. In this case, the transverse direction corresponds to the direction along which the edge sections are spaced apart from each other.

[0013] By pushing the coupling element from the insertion opening into the movable section when the locking parts are connected to each other and engaging with the movable section in the holding position, a safe connection can be achieved between the locking parts, wherein the coupling element is safely and securely held in the movable section by the locking element and cannot easily slip out of the area of ​​the movable section.

[0014] The movement path defined by the edge segment by its longitudinal extension can in particular be greater, preferably significantly (many times) greater than the undercut depth of the second closure part. The undercut depth is defined by the increased width of the head compared to the rod. The size of the head is greater than the size of the rod, in particular with a larger diameter in the transverse direction, so that the head engages the edge segment behind during movement and in the holding position, and the rod extends through between the edge segments.

[0015] The holding device is designed as a magnetic holding device in that each closure part has a magnetic element. The magnetic elements of the closure parts interact in a magnetically attractive manner so that the placement of the closure parts on one another is supported magnetically. Due to the magnetic support of the magnetic elements, the engagement element engages with the insertion opening largely automatically when the closure parts are brought close to one another, so that the closure parts preferably engage easily, advantageously largely automatically, and the closing of the closure device is therefore particularly simple and comfortable for the user.

[0016] The magnetic elements can be formed, for example, by permanent magnets, wherein the permanent magnets face each other with different magnetic poles when the locking parts are placed on each other and thus attract each other magnetically. However, the magnetic elements can also be formed by permanent magnets on the one hand and by a magnetic armature on the other hand, for example made of ferromagnetic material, thus forming a passive magnetic element.

[0017] In addition, the first locking part has a housing formed by at least one housing part and a locking element adjustably arranged at the housing, which is used to lock the engaging element in the holding position. Therefore, when the engaging element is pushed into the moving section in order to connect the locking parts to each other, the position of the engaging element is additionally ensured via the locking element. The locking element is particularly designed to lock the movement of the engaging element from the holding position in the opposite direction of movement in the locking position, so that the engaging element cannot move out of the moving section. Therefore, the engaging element is blocked in the moving section in the holding position and is blocked relative to the first locking part, so that the engaging element cannot easily, in any case, move out of the moving section without canceling the locking effect of the locking element, and the second locking part cannot be separated from the first locking part. In order to separate the locking parts from each other, the locking effect should be canceled on the contrary, so that the engaging element can move in the moving section in the opposite direction of movement and move out of the moving section.

[0018] The housing of the first closure part preferably also forms the sliding section and also the insertion opening.

[0019] The first locking part can be associated with a component, such as a carrier, such as a tool belt. Correspondingly, the second locking part can be associated with an object, such as a tool. By connecting the locking parts to each other, a connection between the object and the component can be established, such as a connection between a tool and an associated carrier.

[0020] Alternatively, however, it is also possible, in the case of kinematic inversion, for the first closure part to be associated with an object, for example a tool, and for the second closure part to be associated with a component, for example a carrying device, for example a tool belt.

[0021] In one embodiment, the engagement element can be inserted into the insertion opening along the closing direction, wherein the movement direction is oriented transversely to the closing direction. The insertion opening has an increased clear width relative to the movement section and can be designed, for example, as a round, for example circular opening. The insertion opening can have, for example, a funnel shape, so that when the closure parts are placed on one another to close the holding device, a guide is also provided in the region of the insertion opening for guiding the engagement element toward the inlet of the movement section.

[0022] In one embodiment, the first magnetic element is arranged on the first closure part in the region of the insertion opening. The first magnetic element can be arranged, for example, at a base which delimits the insertion opening in the closing direction and against which the head of the engagement element abuts when the closure parts are placed against one another. In this case, the first magnetic element is preferably arranged in front of the displacement section and thus outside the region of the displacement section, viewed in the displacement direction.

[0023] The first magnetic element is designed in the manner described to attract the head of the engagement element into engagement with the insertion opening in order to close the holding device. By arranging the first magnetic element in the region of the insertion opening, for example at a delimiting wall of the insertion opening, the first magnetic element supports the insertion of the engagement element into the insertion opening by cooperating with the second magnetic element, for example at an engagement element of the second closure part, in that the head of the engagement element is pulled into the insertion opening by a magnetic attraction force. The magnetic attraction provided by the magnetic element thus serves in particular to make it easier to place the closure parts on one another.

[0024] After the engagement element has been inserted into the insertion opening to close the holding device, a secure hold of the closure parts on one another is established in that the head of the engagement element is moved in the displacement direction from the region of the insertion opening into the displacement section. When the engagement element is inserted into the insertion opening, the magnetic elements approach one another, and in one embodiment, when the engagement element is moved into the displacement section, the second magnetic element of the second closure part moves away from the first magnetic element of the first closure part, so that the magnetic attraction is weakened. In the holding position, the holding is thus provided primarily by the engagement of the engagement element into the displacement section.

[0025] In one embodiment, the head of the engagement element can be designed, for example, rotationally symmetrically (with respect to the closing direction). Thus, the head of the engagement element is designed rotationally symmetrically about an axis of rotation pointing in the closing direction. This has the advantage that the second locking part can in principle be placed on the first locking part in any rotational position (about the axis of rotation) and can also be twisted relative to the first locking part in the holding position. Thus, an object held by the holding device can be variably positioned at the associated component under reliable holding established by the holding device.

[0026] The second magnetic element can be arranged in particular at the engagement element, preferably in the head of the engagement element. Here, the second magnetic element can be designed, for example, cylindrically and, for example, be arranged concentrically with respect to the rotational symmetry axis of the head of the engagement element. Thus, the magnetic attraction is provided directly at the engagement element, so that when the holding device is closed, the engagement element is pulled into direct engagement with the insertion opening by the magnetic interaction of the magnetic elements.

[0027] In one embodiment, the head of the engagement element is formed, for example, by a spherical head. The head of the engagement element thus has an at least partially spherical shape, which, when engaged in the displacement section in the holding position, provides a retention of the locking parts on one another. The spherical design of the engagement element has the further advantage that the engagement element can be pivoted relative to the first locking part within a certain angular range in a plane transverse to the displacement direction, if necessary, so that the object can assume a flexibly variable position on the associated component.

[0028] The displacement section is delimited by two edge sections. The edge sections extend longitudinally, for example, in the displacement direction and preferably extend at least partially parallel to one another, but may also extend at a certain (small) angle relative to one another. The edge sections form a slit between them, through which the engagement element engages in the holding position, wherein the slit may be short, for example corresponding to a length that is only slightly greater than the undercut depth of the second closure part, but is preferably long, i.e. several times longer than the undercut depth.

[0029] To establish the retention, the head of the engagement element, which is formed, for example, by a ball head, engages the edge section at the rear, so that the engagement element is pushed along the edge section in a form-fitting manner with respect to the closing direction during displacement and is held on the first closure part in the retention position. The displacement section is thus open to the outside via the slit formed between the edge sections. The space on the inside of the edge sections is widened relative to the gap, so that the head of the engagement element can be moved into the displacement section and here inserted with the rod in the region of the slit, so that a form-fitting retention of the closure parts on one another is established by engaging the edge section from the rear with the head of the engagement element.

[0030] The edge section is rigidly formed on the housing of the second closure part.

[0031] The rod passes through the gap between the edge segments during movement and in the holding position. In contrast, the head engages the edge segments from behind in a form-fitting manner and thereby establishes a hold of the closure parts on one another. The head has a larger diameter (measured in the transverse direction along which the edge segments are spaced apart from one another) than the rod. The gap between the edge segments has a width such that the rod can pass through the gap, but the head cannot move through the gap (in the closing direction). The spherical head, for example, is thus held in the moving segment in a form-fitting manner (with respect to the closing direction).

[0032] In one embodiment, the second closure part has a base. The rod is arranged at the base and carries the head at the end facing away from the base. The second closure part can be connected to an associated component via the base, for example.

[0033] In one design, the coupling element is adjustably arranged at the base. For example, in the retracted position, the coupling element can be at least partially accommodated in the receiving opening of the base and move out of the receiving opening with the head in the operating position, wherein in the operating position, the coupling element can be inserted into the insertion opening and can be pushed into the moving section. This can be achieved by designing the second locking part so that in the non-use position, the coupling element is covered and does not or only slightly protrudes from the base. If the second locking part is not connected to the first locking part, the coupling element is retracted into the base, for example by the magnetic action between the magnetic element arranged at the base and the coupling element or by the preload of a mechanical spring. When approaching the first locking part, the coupling element moves out and thus extends out of the receiving opening, so that the coupling element can be inserted into the insertion opening with the head and moved into the moving section.

[0034] When the closure parts approach one another, the engagement element can be moved out of the retracted position into the operating position, for example automatically, by magnetic interaction between a first magnetic element on the first closure part and a second magnetic element on the engagement element of the second closure part.

[0035] In one embodiment, the locking element is preloaded relative to the housing toward the locking position. Therefore, when the locking element is not actuated to move out of the locking position, the locking element assumes the locking position on the housing due to the preload. Therefore, if the engagement element is in the holding position, the locking element automatically assumes the locking position and locks the engagement element in the displacement section.

[0036] The prestressing can be effected, for example, in a spring-mechanical manner, for example via a spring element, by means of which the locking element is prestressed relative to the housing.

[0037] In another design, the preload is realized, for example, magnetically. To this end, the locking element may, for example, have a third magnetic element, which acts together with the first magnetic element in a magnetically attractive manner, so that the locking element is preloaded toward the locking position. The third magnetic element may, for example, be formed by a permanent magnet, which points to the first magnetic element with different magnetic poles. Alternatively, the third magnetic element may be made of a magnetic armature composed of a ferromagnetic material, which acts together with the first magnetic element in a magnetically attractive manner. Due to the magnetic interaction between the first magnetic element and the third magnetic element, when the locking element is not manipulated, the locking element is magnetically loaded toward the locking position and is thus held in the locking position, so that when the engaging element is in the holding position, the locking element occupies the locking position.

[0038] In one design, the locking element is configured so that when the engaging element moves in the moving section in the moving direction so that the engaging element moves into the holding position, the locking element moves out of the locking position. When the engaging element moves in the moving section, the engaging element with its head or another section of the second locking part thus cooperates with the locking element to deflect the locking element out of the locking position. Therefore, the locking element or another section of the second locking part can move over the engaging element so that the engaging element can move toward the holding position in the moving section.

[0039] In one embodiment, the locking element has a locking section which projects into the region of the displacement section, in particular into the region of the displacement section in which the engagement element moves during displacement, in order to lock the engagement element in the locking position. If the engagement element is in the holding position and the locking element assumes the locking position, the engagement element is thus locked in the displacement section and cannot move out of the displacement section.

[0040] In this embodiment, the locking section can have, for example, a ramp section which is oriented obliquely to the displacement direction and against which the head of the engaging element strikes when moving in the displacement direction in order to transfer the engaging element into the holding position, so that the locking section can be adjusted out of the locking position and the engaging element can be moved through the locking section. Opposite to the displacement direction, the locking section can, for example, form a locking surface which is preferably oriented at least approximately perpendicular to the displacement direction, so that when the locking section is in the locking position and the engaging element is in the holding position, the engaging element abuts with the head against the locking surface and is thereby locked in the displacement section.

[0041] In one embodiment, the locking section can also be configured as a ramp section opposite to the direction of movement, against which the head of the engagement element collides when moving opposite to the direction of movement. This makes it possible for the holding device to be opened without a user specifically manipulating the locking element, in that the engagement element moves opposite to the direction of movement with a force exceeding the limit force and thereby presses the locking element to one side, thereby canceling the locking.

[0042] In one embodiment, the locking element is pivotably supported on the housing of the first closure part. For this purpose, the locking element can have, for example, a bearing element, for example in the form of an axle element, via which the locking element is pivotably supported on the housing. Thus, the locking element can be pivoted out of the locked position relative to the housing.

[0043] In particular, the locking element can be designed in the manner of a rocker, wherein in the initial position the locking element is in a locking position and can be tilted out of the locking position for closing the holding device and also for opening the holding device, so that after actuation it automatically returns to the initial position corresponding to the locking position due to the preload relative to the housing of the first locking part.

[0044] In another embodiment, the locking element can be arranged on the housing in a linearly adjustable manner, for example, and can be designed, for example, in the manner of a pin.

[0045] In one embodiment, the locking element has a handle for unlocking the engagement element by actuation by a user. When the holding device is closed, the locking element is preferably automatically deflected out of the locking position, so that the closure parts can be moved relative to each other for closing the holding device, and the locking element can be actuated by the user for opening the holding device, in that the user acts on the handle and thereby manually moves the locking element relative to the housing of the first closure part. The locking element can thus be moved out of the locking position, for example, in that the locking section of the locking element is adjusted out of the region of the displacement section, so that the locking of the engagement element in the displacement section is canceled, so that the closure parts can be removed from each other.

[0046] In one embodiment, the handle is arranged at a first side of the insertion opening with respect to the movement direction, while the moving section extends at a second side of the insertion opening facing away from the first side. Thus, the handle on the one hand and the moving section on the other hand are located at different sides of the insertion opening. It can be provided that the handle is manipulated with an opening movement directed in the movement direction to unlock the coupling element, while the coupling element is moved along the moving section opposite to the movement direction in order to separate the first locking part and the second locking part from each other. Thus, in order to open the holding device, the handle and the coupling element move in different directions, i.e. towards each other. This makes the opening of the holding device particularly intuitive for the user, in that the user can, for example, grasp the handle on one side and the second locking part on the other side with two fingers in order to squeeze the handle and the second locking part towards each other and thereby open the holding device.

[0047] In one embodiment, the carrying device has a holding device of the above-described type for a carrying tool.

[0048] In one embodiment, the carrying device has a holding device of the above-mentioned type, which is used to carry an electrical or electronic device, in particular to carry an electric tool, such as an electric screwdriver or an electric drill. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0128] Figures 1 to 17 A view showing an embodiment of a holding device 1 for holding a Fig.17The object 5 shown in FIG. 5 , for example a tool, is held on an associated component 4 , for example a belt.

[0129] The holding device 1 has a first locking part 2 and a second locking part 3, which can be placed on each other along the closing direction X and provide a secure hold on each other in the holding position. The first locking part 2 can be connected to a component 4, such as a belt, for example. The second locking part 3 can be associated with an object 5, such as a tool, for example, so as to carry the object.

[0130] The first closure part 2 has a housing, which is formed by housing parts 20, 21, 24. An insertion opening 200 is formed in the housing part 20, to which a sliding section 201 extending longitudinally in the displacement direction V is connected. The sliding section 201 is bounded by edge sections 202 extending longitudinally in the displacement direction V and oriented parallel to each other, which are oriented parallel to the interior space of the sliding section 201 (see, for example, according to Fig. 11B sectional view) protrude inwardly (toward each other) to define a slit having a reduced width compared to the interior space of the moving section 201, as shown in FIG. Fig. 11B is obtained from the cross-sectional view of .

[0131] The second closure part 3 has a base 30 and an engagement element 31 arranged on the base 30. The engagement element 31 has a head 310 in the form of a ball head, which is connected to the base 30 via a rod 311.

[0132] In order to connect the closure parts 2 and 3 to each other, the second closure part 3 can be inserted into the insertion opening 200 with the coupling element 31. The insertion opening 200 has a substantially circular opening shape and tapers conically inwardly, so that when the coupling element 31 is inserted into the insertion opening 200 in the closing direction X, the coupling element 31 is guided with the head 310 into the region of the entrance of the moving section 201. In order to further connect the closure parts 2 and 3, the coupling element 31 can then be pushed into the moving section 201 with the head 310, so that the rod 311 passes through the slit formed between the edge sections 202 and the head 310 is inserted into the inner space of the moving section 21 and a form-fitting connection is established between the closure parts 2 and 3 via it, such as this, for example, from according to Fig. 16B As can be seen from the cross-sectional view.

[0133] In the installed position, the housing parts 20, 21, 24 of the housing of the first closure part 2 are firmly connected to each other. The housing part 21 forms a receiving space 213 in its interior, in which a locking element 22 is received, which is pivotably supported on a bearing surface 241 of the housing part 24 via a bearing element 222 in the form of an axis element. Thus, the locking element 22 can be pivoted on the housing, wherein the handle 221 protrudes outward from the housing and can be manipulated by the user to unlock the holding device 1, such as, for example, from Figure 5 and Figure 6 As can be seen in .

[0134] When the locking element 22 is in the locking position, the locking element 22 extends into the region of the displacement section 201 with the locking section 223 arranged on the base section 224, so that the engagement element 31 is thereby locked in its holding position in the displacement section 201, as shown in FIG. Fig.16E As can be seen in the cross-sectional view of .

[0135] The housing part 21 forms a bottom 211 which forms the insertion opening 200 and the bottom of the displacement section 201. An opening 212 is formed in the bottom 211, through which the locking section 225 engages when the locking element 22 is in the locked position.

[0136] The housing part 24 is fastened to the housing part 21 via fastening elements 240 in the form of screws. The housing parts 20, 21 are also fastened to one another, for example, via screws or by an adhesive connection.

[0137] The first closure part 2 has a first magnetic element 23, for example in the form of a permanent magnet, which is arranged on the housing part 21, such as for example from Fig.11E The second closure part 3 has a second magnetic element 33, which is accommodated in the coupling element 31 and is arranged concentrically with respect to the rotationally symmetrical coupling element 33, as can be seen from the cross-sectional view of FIG. Fig.11E As can be seen in .

[0138] The magnetic element 23 is accommodated on the housing part 21 and is covered via the (non-magnetic) plate element 210 toward the side pointing inwards away from the base 211 .

[0139] Furthermore, a third magnetic element 220 is provided on the locking element 22, which is accommodated on the base section 224 and magnetically cooperates with the magnetic element 23 on the housing part 21 to preload the locking element 22 toward the locking position. Thus, the magnetic element 220, for example in the form of a magnetic armature, cooperates with the magnetic element 23 on the housing part 21 in a magnetically attractive manner, so that the base section 224 is pulled toward the magnetic element 23, such as from Fig.11E As can be seen in FIG. 1 , and therefore, when the locking element 22 is not deflected out of the locking position by an operation for opening or by cooperating with the engagement element 31 when closed, the locking element 22 is Fig.11E Magnetically held in the locked position shown in .

[0140] The magnetic element 33 is accommodated in the engagement element 31. In addition, another magnetic element 34 is arranged in a receiving opening in the engagement element 31 and is separated from the magnetic element 33 via a small plate element 330, such as this Fig.11E The magnetic element 34, for example in the form of a permanent magnet, is used to interact with a magnetic, for example ferromagnetic, annular element 323 of a retaining element 32, for example in the form of a strip, connected to the base 30, in order to connect the ends 320, 321 of the retaining element 32 to one another in the manner described, as can be seen from Fig.17 As can be seen in .

[0141] Thus, in order to form a loop, the end 321 together with the opening 322 formed therein can be placed on the engagement element 31 and the holding section 300 connected to the rod 311, wherein an undercut section 301 in the form of a cutout is formed on the holding section 300, into which the end 321 together with the annular element 323 arranged thereon can be hooked. By the magnetic interaction between the magnetic element 34 and the annular element 323, a connection is automatically established by engaging in the undercut section 301, in this case in a magnetically supported manner, so that after the loop is formed, the end 321 of the holding element 32 is firmly and reliably held on the holding section 300 of the base 30.

[0142] In order to establish the connection between the closure parts 2 , 3 of the holding device 1 , the engagement element 31 is inserted in the closing direction X into the insertion opening 200 on the closure part 2 , as in the example of FIG. FIG. 11A to FIG. 11E and FIG. 12A to FIG. 12E The magnetic element 23 of the closure part 2 is arranged at the bottom 211 of the housing part 21 in the region of the insertion opening 200, as can be seen from the Fig.11EAs can be seen in the figure, the engagement element 31 is magnetically pulled into engagement with the insertion opening 200 by its head 310 through the magnetic interaction between the magnetic elements 23 and 33. The closure parts 2 and 3 are thus automatically combined in a magnetically supported manner when approaching each other, so that the closing process is magnetically supported.

[0143] Due to the conical shape of the insertion opening 200, the engagement element 31 is guided with its head 310 into the region of the inlet of the displacement section 201 after being inserted into the insertion opening 200, as shown in FIG. FIG. 12A to FIG. 12E As can be seen in FIG. 13A to FIG. 13E As shown in FIG, the head 310 of the engagement element 31 can thus be pushed into the moving section 201 so that the head 310 engages the edge section 202 at the rear and the rod 311 passes through the slit formed between the edge sections 202, as shown in FIG. Fig. 13B and Fig.13E As can be seen in .

[0144] The engaging element 31 moves into the moving section 201 in the moving direction V to establish the connection. Here, the head 310 of the engaging element 31 interacts with the locking section 223 of the locking element 22 extending into the moving section 201, wherein the spherical head 310 collides with the ramp section 225 pointing obliquely to the moving direction V, thereby pressing the locking section 223 to one side, such as from FIG. 14A to FIG. 14E and FIG. 15A to FIG. 15E Thus, the engaging element 31 moves through the locking section 223 when the locking element 22 is deflected in the tilting direction K1 until the head 310 of the engaging element 31 passes the locking section 223 and the locking element 22 returns to its locking position in the tilting direction K2 opposite to the tilting direction K1, as shown in FIG. FIG. 16A to FIG. 16E As can be seen in .

[0145] Due to the magnetic prestressing of the locking element 22 caused by the magnetic elements 23, 220, the locking element 22 is reset into the locking position. Therefore, the magnetic elements 23, 220 magnetically attract each other and reset the locking element 22 to the locking position according to the magnetic element 23, 220 after the deflection. Fig.16E in the locked position.

[0146] In the locked position, the locking section 223 extends into the displacement section 201, thereby locking the engagement element 31 in the displacement section 201. Here, the engagement element 31 is located at the end of the displacement section 201 and is held there, for example, by the effect of gravity. Here, the engagement element 31 cannot move out of the displacement section 201 in the opposite direction of the displacement direction V, because this is prevented by the locking section 223 of the locking element 22.

[0147] To this end, the locking section 223 is in accordance with Fig.16E The side pointing toward the coupling element 31 in the retaining position has a facial segment perpendicular to the movement direction V, so that when the coupling element 31 moves in the moving section 201 in the locking position of the locking element 22 in the opposite direction of the movement direction V, the coupling element stops at the locking section 223 and thus cannot move out of the moving section 201.

[0148] If the user wants to open the holding device 1, the user can manipulate the locking element 22 via the handle 221, in that the user presses or pulls on the handle 221 and thereby deflects the locking element 22 in the tilting direction K1. As a result, the engagement element 31 is unlocked, so that the engagement element 31 can be moved out of the moving section 201, and the holding device 1 can therefore be opened to separate the object 5 from the component 4.

[0149] As this Fig.17 As shown in FIG. 1 , the opening can be intuitively performed by the user, in that the user, for example, acts on the handle 221 of the locking element 22 with two fingers in the movement direction B1 and simultaneously moves the engagement element 31 in the movement section 201 in the opposite movement direction B2 toward the insertion opening 200, so that the engagement element 31 moves out of the movement section 201 and the closure parts 2 and 3 can be separated from each other. Therefore, since the opening can be performed with two fingers, the opening movement is simple and comfortable for the user.

[0150] As this from FIG. 11A to FIG. 11E Combination FIG. 16A to FIG. 16E As can be seen, the insertion of the engagement element 31 into the insertion opening 200 is magnetically supported by the magnetic elements 23, 33, so that the closure parts 2, 3 are joined in a simple manner when closed. FIG. 16A to FIG. 16E In the holding position, the magnetic element 33 at the engagement element 31 is moved transversely along the movement direction V relative to the magnetic element 23, so that the magnetic attraction between the magnetic elements 23, 33 is weakened in the holding position. In the holding position, the closure parts 2, 3 are held to each other due to the form fit established via the engagement element 31, but not magnetically.

[0151] Since the magnetic elements 23 , 33 approach one another counter to the displacement direction V when the holding device 1 is opened, the magnetic elements 23 , 33 can magnetically support the opening, in particular the displacement of the engagement element 31 counter to the displacement direction V in the displacement section 201 toward the insertion opening 200 .

[0152] Since the locking element 22 is arranged with the locking section 223 in the sliding section 201, in particular in the region of the entrance of the sliding section 201, a reliable locking effect is obtained between the closure parts 2, 3. Without actuating the locking element 22, the holding device 1 cannot be opened, so that the closure parts 2, 3 are reliably prevented from being accidentally released from each other.

[0153] Since the locking element 22 is (magnetically) preloaded toward the locked position, locking occurs automatically when the closure parts 2 , 3 are connected, so that the holding device 1 is safely and securely locked in the holding position without requiring special user assistance for this purpose.

[0154] Due to the spherical design of the engagement element 31 , the engagement element 31 can be placed on the closure part 2 in any desired rotational position and can also be rotated arbitrarily relative to the closure part 2 in the holding position.

[0155] If the lever 311 has play in the slot formed between the edge sections 202 , a pivoting of the engagement element 31 in a plane pointing perpendicularly to the displacement direction V can also be achieved within a certain angular range.

[0156] 18A to 18C The schematic diagram shows the attachment of the engagement element 31 of the second closure part 3 to the first closure part 2 ( Fig.18A ), the engaging element 31 is pushed into the moving section 201 between the edge sections 202 with the head 310 ( Fig.18B ) and the engaging element 31 in the moving section 201 in the final position corresponding to the holding position ( Fig.18C ).

[0157] The moving section 201 has a length B, which corresponds to the length of the moving path along which the engaging element 31 can be pushed into the moving section 201 in the moving direction V. The length B of the moving section 201 is, for example, from the position where the engaging element 31 is inserted into the insertion opening 200, but the head 310 does not (just) overlap the edge section 202 (corresponding to the length according to Fig.18A The position of the engaging element 31 on the moving path Fig.18C The path length of the engagement element 31 between the holding positions of the end position shown in FIG.

[0158] The engagement element 31 is inserted into the insertion opening 200 without the edge section 202 being opposed thereto, so that after being inserted into the insertion opening 200, the engagement element 31 reaches the position according to Fig.18Aand has not yet engaged with the edge section 202. By moving the engagement element 31 into the moving section 201 in the moving direction V, the head 310 of the engagement element 31 overlaps with the edge section 202, so that the head 310 engages the edge section 202 at the rear and thus slides on the edge section 202 in a form-fitting manner. In the holding position ( Fig.18C ), the engagement element 31 assumes a final position in the displacement section 201 , in which the engagement element 31 cannot move further in the displacement direction V relative to the edge section 202 .

[0159] The longitudinal extension of the edge section 202 measured along the displacement direction V is greater than the undercut depth A of the head 310, with which the head 310 radially protrudes from the shaft 311. Preferably, the length of the edge section 202 is a multiple greater than the undercut depth A, but it is also conceivable and feasible that the length B is only slightly greater than the undercut depth A, so that the displacement path is relatively short.

[0160] It is conceivable and feasible that the width of the displacement section 201 is greater than its length, for example.

[0161] Fig.19A , FIG. 19B to FIG. 23A to Fig.23H A further exemplary embodiment of a holding device 1 is shown, which has closure parts 2 , 3 which can be placed on one another along a closing direction X in order to connect the closure parts 2 , 3 .

[0162] In the embodiment shown, the second closure part 3 has a base 30 at which an engagement element 31 is arranged adjustably along the closing direction X. In the retracted position, the engagement element 31 is received in a receiving opening 302 of the base 30 and is thus enclosed in the base 30 .

[0163] The coupling element 31 can be moved from the retracted position in the closing direction X so as to protrude from the base 30 in the operating position, so that the head 310 of the coupling element 31 can be inserted into the insertion opening 200 at the shell part 20 of the first locking part 2 and can be pushed along the moving direction V into the moving section 201 formed at the shell part 20.

[0164] Similar to the embodiment described above, the first closure part 2 has a magnetic element 23 which is arranged on the housing part 20 in the region of the insertion opening 200 . The second closure part 3 has a magnetic element 33 which is arranged in the head 310 of the engagement element 31 .

[0165] The head 310 is connected to a rod 311, which has a reduced diameter compared to the head 310, so that the head 310 protrudes radially relative to the rod 311 to form an undercut, which engages with the edge section 202 at the wall that laterally limits the movable section 200 when the coupling element 31 is pushed into the movable section 201 connected to the insertion opening 200 in the moving direction V, and thereby engages with the edge section 202 at the rear.

[0166] In order to connect the closure parts 2, 3 to each other, as in FIG. 20A to FIG. 20G As shown in , the closure parts 2, 3 are placed against each other along the closing direction X. Here, before the closure parts 2, 3 are placed against each other, the engagement element 31 is in a retracted position in the base 30, so that the head 310 of the engagement element 31 does not protrude outwards from the base 30 or at least only protrudes outwards from the base.

[0167] If this is based on Fig.19A , Fig.19B Exploded view and according to Fig.20F As can be seen in the sectional view, a magnetic element 303 is arranged at the bottom of the accommodating opening 302 of the base 30, and the magnetic element 303 acts together with the magnetic element 33 at the coupling element 31 in a magnetic attraction manner, so that the coupling element 31 is pre-tightened into the retracted position, and when the locking part 3 is not connected to the locking part 2, the coupling element remains in the retracted position.

[0168] When the locking parts 2 and 3 are placed on each other, the magnetic elements 23 and 33 of the locking parts 2 and 3 approach each other and act together in a magnetically attractive manner, wherein the magnetic attraction between the magnetic elements 23 and 33 exceeds the attraction between the magnetic element 33 at the engagement element 31 and the magnetic element 303 at the bottom of the receiving opening 302 of the base 30. FIG. 21A to FIG. 21H As can be seen in FIG. 1 , the engagement element 31 is moved out of the retracted position and into an operating position in which the engagement element 31 protrudes with the head 310 from the base 30 .

[0169] Due to the magnetic attraction between the magnetic elements 23, 33 of the closure parts 2, 3, the head 310 of the engagement element 31 is pulled into the insertion opening 200 at the housing part 20 of the closure part 2 and reaches the position according to FIG. 21A to FIG. 21H Therefore, the engagement element 31 automatically engages with the insertion opening 200 .

[0170] The locking element 3 can now be FIG. 21A to FIG. 21H201 in the position shown in the figure, in the displacement direction V relative to the closure part 2, so that the engagement element 31 moves with the head 310 into the displacement section 201 and engages behind the edge section 202 at the lateral wall of the displacement section 201. Here, the rod 311 extends through between the edge sections 202, so that the closure part 3 is guided slidingly on the closure part 2 while engaging behind the edge section 202, and thus moves relative to the closure part 2 with a positive fit.

[0171] Once the engagement element 31 has reached the final position in the displacement section 201, the FIG. 23A to FIG. 23H In this end position, the engagement element 31 cannot move further with the head 310 in the displacement direction V. The closure parts 2 , 3 are thus connected and held against one another in a load-bearing manner.

[0172] In the exemplary embodiment shown, the first closure part 2 has a locking element 22, which is formed by a locking section which projects into the region of the sliding section 201 and for this purpose projects from the bottom of the sliding section 201, such as, for example, from the locking element 22 according to Fig.19B The exploded view is combined according to Fig.20F As can be seen from the cross-sectional view.

[0173] In this case, the locking element 22 is formed on the housing part 20 in an elastically deflectable manner and is designed integrally and in one piece with the housing part 20 .

[0174] The locking element 22 has impact bevels on both sides, against which the engagement element 31 can impact.

[0175] Thus, during a displacement in the displacement direction V in order to connect the closure parts 2, 3 to one another, the engagement element 31 strikes against the locking element 22 and elastically presses it to one side, as is shown in FIG. Fig.22F and Figure 22G If the head 310 of the engagement element 31 has passed the locking element 22, the locking element 22 returns to its relaxed initial position, so that the engagement element 31 is in accordance with FIG. 23A to FIG. 23H In the holding position, it is locked in the moving section 201 and thus held.

[0176] However, since the locking element 22 also has a collision bevel on the side of the engagement element 31 opposite to the displacement direction V in the holding position, the holding device 1 can be opened opposite to the displacement direction V under the action of force on the closure part 3 without separately actuating the locking element 22 for this purpose. If the force action on the engagement element 31 exceeds a predetermined limit force determined by the shape of the collision bevel on the locking element 22 and also by the elastic properties of the locking element 22, the engagement element 31 collides with the head 310 on the locking element 22 and presses the locking element to one side again, so that the engagement element 31 can be moved out of the displacement section 201. Therefore, the holding device 1 can be opened by the action of force on the engagement element 31 without separately actuating the locking element 22.

[0177] In addition, according to Fig.19A , FIG. 19B to FIG. 23A to Fig.23H The embodiments are functionally similar to those according to Figures 1 to 17 The embodiments are the same as those of the present invention, so that reference should also be made to the previous explanations.

[0178] The concept on which the present invention is based is not limited to the above-described exemplary embodiments but can also be implemented in other ways.

[0179] A holding device of the type described can be used to connect completely different objects to a superordinate component. In this regard, the use of a holding device to connect a tool to a carrier device, such as a tool belt, is not restrictive to the invention.

[0180] The object can be firmly connected to the engagement element or can be held on the engagement element via a holding element, for example in the form of a flexible belt.
