Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a support device for a tool, in particular for a tool. Background Art

[0002] Such a support device is known from prior public use. The support device has a receiving device with a receiving space for receiving a knife. The knife can be introduced into the receiving space through an opening. The receiving device has a holding device for holding the receiving device on a garment, for example a belt. The knife can be inserted into the receiving space and removed from the receiving space. The knife is only loosely received in the support device.

[0003] It is not uncommon for workers in crafts to occupy a working position in which the opening for introducing the tool into the receiving space of the receiving device does not point upward, i.e. the receiving device is not oriented vertically. In this case or also in the event of a sudden movement of the user, the tool can fall out of the receiving device. The support device can also be adjustable, in particular rotatable, relative to the fixing device, for example, in order to adapt the receiving device to a certain body posture and working position. In this case, there is also the risk of the tool falling out. For example, when working on a support, the tool can fall and injure other people or be lost. In addition, the tool can injure the user when it falls out. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a holding device in which the tool is securely held in the holding device and injuries to the user and third parties are reliably prevented.

[0005] This object is achieved by a bearing device having the features of claim 1 .

[0006] The support device for the tool has a receiving device, which includes a receiving space and an introduction opening for receiving the tool at least partially in the receiving space. When the tool is in its seat in the receiving space, for example, a part of the tool protrudes from the receiving space. The tool can then be easily grasped by the user in order to be removed from the receiving space. The holding device is designed to connect the receiving device to the fixing device. With the help of the fixing device, it is possible to support and fix the receiving device, for example on a piece of clothing, such as a belt, or on a holding device of a piece of furniture, such as a machine.

[0007] The receiving device is provided with a blocking device, which can be moved between a blocking position and a release position by means of an actuating device. The tool can be releasably locked in the support device by means of the blocking device. In the blocking position, the locking element engages in a movement path for removing the tool from the receiving space in such a way that the tool cannot be removed from the receiving space.

[0008] With the support device according to the invention, it is possible to reliably prevent the tool from being accidentally moved out of the receiving device when the blocking device is in the blocking position. In the release position, the tool can be easily removed from the receiving space of the receiving device, since it is not necessary to clamp or lock the tool in the receiving device. Injuries to the user and third parties and the loss of the tool are therefore not possible.

[0009] The operating device has, for example, a button having at least one operating region in order to move the blocking device between the blocking position and the release position. The button is, for example, arranged on a receiving device. The tool has, for example, only one operating region. The blocking position and the release position are then controlled by the one operating region. For example, a single operation of the operating region moves the blocking device from the release position into the blocking position and a second operation of the operating region moves the blocking device from the blocking position into the release position.

[0010] For example, the button has two operating areas, wherein the first operating area is configured to operate the blocking position and the second operating area is configured to operate the release position. If there are separate operating areas for operating the blocking position and the release position, the user has no doubts about the state in which he or she has placed the blocking device by operating the corresponding area.

[0011] The pushbutton can be moved between the blocking position and the release position, for example, by a translational deflection and / or by a rotation. A mixed movement consisting of a translational deflection and a rotation is also conceivable for adjusting the pushbutton. In the case of a translational deflection, the pushbutton is moved, for example, parallel to the wall of the receiving device or alternatively perpendicular to the wall. In the case of a rotational adjustment, the pushbutton is moved about a deflection axis, which is, for example, supported on the receiving part or formed by the receiving part.

[0012] The button can be moved, for example, into a stable first position and a stable second position, wherein the blocking position is assigned to the first position and the release position is assigned to the second position. A stable position in the sense of the invention means that the button remains in the position to which it is set. For example, the resistance to be overcome can prevent the button from accidentally moving from the set position to another position. For example, the receiving part has a structure that is arranged in the movement track of the mating structure of the button when the button is adjusted between the first position and the second position. The structure and / or the mating structure can be flexibly deformed so that the mating structure can pass through the structure by overcoming the deformation force.

[0013] The stable state of the button in the blocking position and the release position contributes to increased safety, since the user can easily place the tool in the receiving space of the receiving device in the release position or remove the tool from the receiving device. During the introduction or removal from the receiving space, it is not necessary to operate the button. In the blocking position, it is ensured that the blocking device cannot move out of the blocking position.

[0014] The button can be locked, for example, in a blocking position and / or a release position. The button cannot then accidentally move out of the set position. The locking is performed by a locking device, which has, for example, a first locking mechanism assigned to the button and a second locking mechanism assigned to the receiving device.

[0015] The button is designed, for example, as a two-arm lever, wherein two operating areas are separated from each other by a pivot axis. The button can be pivoted around the pivot axis between a blocking position and a release position. Depending on which operating area is actuated, the button is pivoted and moved into the blocking position or the release position.

[0016] The first operating area of ​​the button is, for example, larger than the second operating area. In this way, the user can more easily identify the operating area and assign it to the corresponding function. If, for example, a larger operating area is assigned to the blocking position, the user can also more easily position himself in the receiving space due to the larger operating surface, because this surface can be operated more easily.

[0017] For example, the buttons are arranged on the outside of the receiving device. With these features, easy and ergonomic handling is possible both when the supporting device is carried on a person and when the supporting device is fixed in a piece of furniture, because the buttons are easily accessible.

[0018] The push button is arranged, for example, on an outer side facing away from the holding device. The side facing away from the holding device is the side of the circumference of the receiving device that does not have the holding device.

[0019] The button is, for example, directly or indirectly connected to a first blocking mechanism, such as a blocking pin, which can be moved into the movement track of the tool in order to prevent the tool from moving in the receiving space in the disassembly direction. The first blocking mechanism works together with the second blocking mechanism of the tool in order to lock the tool in the receiving space. When the button is indirectly connected to the first blocking mechanism, for example, depending on the position of the button, the mechanical device moves the first blocking mechanism between a blocking position and a release position. If the button is directly connected to the first blocking mechanism, the first blocking mechanism can be fixed on the button or formed integrally with the button, for example. In this case, the first blocking mechanism moves directly with the movement of the button. The first blocking mechanism is embedded in the receiving space in such a way that the tool collides with it during the movement from the receiving space of the receiving device in the disassembly direction, thereby preventing further movement.

[0020] At least one region of the first blocking mechanism can be moved into the receiving space, for example through an opening in the wall of the receiving device. The first blocking mechanism can, for example, be arranged at least partially outside the receiving space in the release position and at least partially inside the receiving space in the blocking position. In order to enable this movement from one position to the other, the wall of the receiving device has, for example, an opening through which the first blocking mechanism passes and in which the first blocking mechanism can move.

[0021] For example, the receiving device has a tactile recognition mechanism in order to locate the arrangement of the button on the receiving device and / or the corresponding areas for actuating the blocking position and the release position by touch. It is then possible to touch the button on the receiving device without aiming at the support device. Such a tactile recognition mechanism can be, for example, a protruding edge of the button or a structure on the button or on a corresponding area of ​​the button that can be recognized again by touch, such as an area for blocking or an area for releasing.

[0022] The tool is designed as a tool or has a tool, for example.

[0023] According to a second aspect, the invention also relates to an apparatus having a support device and a tool.

[0024] The object of the present invention is to provide a device which enables a simple actuation of the blocking device of the tool.

[0025] This object is achieved by a device having the features of claim 15 .

[0026] The device has a support device and a tool according to the first aspect of the invention. The first blocking mechanism of the support device cooperates with the outer surface of the tool and forms a control device, by means of which the blocking device can be controlled. The blocking device can be controlled by the control device in such a way that the blocking device is adjusted to a blocking position or a release position, for example. For example, the first blocking mechanism has a protrusion or a protruding pin. An area of ​​the first blocking mechanism comes into contact with the outer surface when the tool, such as a cutter, is introduced. The formation of the outer surface controls the movement of the blocking device, in particular the button of the blocking device, together with the formation of the pin. For example, the button has stable positions for the blocking position and for the release position, respectively, and has a dead point in between, and the button must move through the dead point in order to reach the corresponding other position of the blocking position and the release position.

[0027] According to one embodiment, the first blocking means and the outer surface are designed such that - when the blocking device is in the blocking position - when the tool is introduced into the receiving space, in particular into a receiving seat of the receiving space, the blocking device remains in the blocking position and the tool is locked. For example, the pushbutton is moved only so far out of the blocking position that the tool can pass the first blocking means and the first blocking means can then be moved into engagement with the second blocking means of the tool, so that the tool is locked in the receiving space. For example, the dead point formed between the blocking position and the release position is not passed.

[0028] Alternatively to the embodiment described in the previous paragraph or in addition thereto, the first blocking mechanism and the outer surface are designed so that - when the blocking device is in the release position - when the tool is introduced into the receiving space, the blocking device moves into the blocking position and the tool is locked. For example, another area of ​​the outer surface cooperates with the first blocking mechanism. In this case, for example, the push button moves from the release position to the blocking position beyond the dead center.

[0029] According to an alternative embodiment to the above-described embodiment, the first blocking means and the outer surface are designed such that when the tool is introduced into the receiving space, the blocking device moves from the blocking position into the release position. According to this embodiment, the blocking device automatically moves from the blocking position into the release position when the tool is introduced into the receiving space, so that the tool can then be locked by actuating a button. If the blocking device is in the release position, the introduction of the tool has no effect on the position of the blocking device. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0069] The support device is generally indicated in the figures by the reference numeral 10. Figure 1a The support device 10 is used to receive a tool 22 in the form of a knife, such as in Figure 1b The supporting device 10 has a receiving device 20 , a holding device 30 and a locking device 40 .

[0070] The receiving device 20 is designed in the form of a housing and has a receiving space 12 which is delimited by a wall 13. Through the upper opening 11, the tool 22 can be inserted into the receiving space 12 and removed again. The wall area 16 forms a guide surface 14 which guides the tool 22 into the receiving space. The upper end of the wall 16 protrudes beyond the upper edge of the opening 11 by a length l.

[0071] The opening 15 in the wall 13 visually results in a light appearance of the support device 10 and enables the discharge of dirt particles that have reached the receiving space 12. A fixing mechanism in the form of a lug 17 allows the fixing of a cable or a belt (not shown) or other objects to the support device 10, which is connected to the tool 22 on the other hand. The wall 13 is designed so that when the tool 22 is in the receiving space 12, contact with the blade of the tool 22 and thereby damage is impossible. The receiving device 20 is, for example, essentially made of plastic. Metals and composite plastics can also be used for the receiving device 20, for example.

[0072] In order to prevent the tool 22 from accidentally coming out and locking it in the receiving space 12, the support device 10 has a blocking device 50 in this embodiment. The blocking device has a button 18, with which the blocking device 50 can be switched between a blocking position and a release position. In the blocking position, the tool 22 is locked in the receiving space 12, and in the release position, the tool 22 can be removed from the receiving space 12. In the present embodiment, the button 18 is designed as a swing button, which can be adjusted between a blocking position and a release position. However, other manipulations are also conceivable as an alternative. The blocking device 50 is further explained in more detail below.

[0073] exist Figure 2 1 shows a support device 10 in a side view. A base part 31 can be seen, which is part of the holding device 30 and part of a fixing device 60, which is used, for example, to fix the receiving device 20 to the user's clothing or furniture. The receiving device 20 is fixed to the user's clothing or furniture by means of a fixing device 60. Figure 2 The holding device 30, which is not completely visible in the figure, is detachably fastened to the base part 31 and is supported on the base part 31 so as to be pivotable about the pivot axis a3. The supporting device is designed as a sliding bearing in this example. Alternatively, other bearings can be used. However, the sliding bearing provides the possibility of simple detachability of the receiving device 20 from the base part 31 in this case and only causes little expenditure.

[0074] In this embodiment, the receiving device 30 can be deflected by 360° relative to the base part 31. Alternatively, however, a deflection radius can be defined.

[0075] Figure 3The support device is shown in a top view, in which the receiving space 12 is visible through the opening 11. The opening 15 on the bottom of the receiving device 20 can be seen, through which dirt particles can pass out of the receiving space 12.

[0076] Figure 4 An exploded view of the support device 10 is shown. Figure 4 1 , the push button 18, the receiving device 20, the base part 31 and the closing part 36 can be seen. The base part 31 has a second holding means 25, which cooperates with the first holding means 24 of the receiving device to ensure a releasable fixation and rotatable support. The first holding means 24 is formed by an edge surface 43 of the recess 26 in the wall 13 of the receiving device 20. The edge surface 43 is part of the inner surface 21 of the receiving device 20. In other words, the edge surface 43 surrounds the recess 26 and, together with the hook projection 42 of the base part 31, prevents the base part 31 from being disengaged from the receiving device 20.

[0077] In this embodiment, a second holding mechanism 25 in the form of three separate blocks 46 is formed, which protrudes from the plate-shaped basic component 31 in the direction x1 toward the receiving device 20, wherein each block 46 is supported on an end region of at least one spring tab 19, which is elastically deformable. Each block 46 can move radially inward in this way in opposition to the elastic spring force of the spring tab 19. The gap between the blocks 46 enables radial inward movement. The support surfaces 56 of all three blocks 46 together produce the shape of a cylinder, which is determined to pass through the gap 26 and form a common support surface for rotation support. The number of blocks is selected here by way of example. It is also possible to alternatively have, for example, 2 or 4 blocks 46, the support surfaces 56 of which form a common support surface for the rotation support of the receiving device 20.

[0078] Each block 46 is provided with a hook protrusion 42 (see Figure 5a ), the hook projection radially protrudes outward from a free end region of each block 46. During the elastic movement of each block 46 inward, the block 46 can be guided through the recess 26 in the direction x1 when the receiving device 20 is mounted on the basic part 31. During unloading, the blocks move radially outward, wherein each hook projection 42 overlaps the edge surface 43 of the recess 26 on the side of the wall 13 opposite the basic part 31. If this is the case, the basic part 31 cannot move in the direction x2 and cannot be detached from the receiving device 20. Due to the interaction of the support surface 56 and the soffit 23, the rotatability of the receiving device 20 relative to the basic part 31 in the directions p1 and p2 is ensured.

[0079] The inclined surface on the hook projection 42 assists the inward radial movement during the assembly of the base part 31 in the direction x1 relative to the receiving device 20 when it is in contact with the soffit 23 of the recess 26. In order to dismantle the base part 31, the blocks 46 can be moved radially inward by pressure on their common center (pivot axis a3) and the holding means 25 can then be disengaged from the receiving device 20 in the direction x2. This detachability of the receiving device 20 from the base part 31 enables and simplifies cleaning of the support device 10.

[0080] On the support surface 56, each of the three sections 46 has a web projection 45 extending in a direction parallel to the pivot axis a3. These web projections - when the first holding means 24 and the second holding means 25 are in engagement - are in contact with the soffit 23 of the recess 26 and together with the soffit form a sliding bearing for the rotatable support of the receiving device 20 relative to the base part 31 in the directions p1 and p2 about the pivot axis a3.

[0081] The locking device 40 of the support device 10 is configured to lock the rotational position of the receiving device 20 relative to the basic component 31. The locking device 40 has a first locking mechanism 34 (see Figures 6 to 11 ) and a second locking mechanism 35 assigned to the basic component 31. The second locking mechanism 35 (see also Figures 5a to 5f ) in this exemplary embodiment has a toothed projection 47 which extends in the direction x1 and points toward the first locking mechanism 34 .

[0082] The toothed projection 47 is formed on a free end region of the spring web 29, which is separated in the plane of the plate-shaped basic part 31. In the present example, the second locking mechanism has three toothed projections 47, which are arranged distributed around the rotation axis a3 and staggered by 120°. Alternatively, another number of toothed projections 47 can be selected. The second locking mechanism 35 is arranged radially outward relative to the second holding mechanism 25 with respect to the rotation axis a3 in the present structure, which is advantageous in terms of space-saving construction.

[0083] exist Figure 6, a view of the rear of the receiving device 20 is shown. It can be seen that the first locking mechanism 34 is formed by a toothing 57, which surrounds the recess 26 or, in other words, is formed on the edge region 53 of the recess 26 facing the base part 31. In the present example, the toothing is formed at an angle of 360° with respect to the rotation axis a3. This enables locking of the receiving device 20 in all rotational positions at an angle of 360° relative to the base part 31. If a smaller adjustment possibility of the receiving device 20 is desired, the first locking mechanism 34 can also be formed only at a smaller angle, for example 90° from the vertical in the two rotation directions p1 and p2.

[0084] exist Figure 7 and 8 It can be seen that the toothing 57 requires little installation space and has a small extension in the directions x1 and x2.

[0085] exist Fig.10 and 11 Details of the retaining device 30 and the locking device 40 can be seen in FIG. Fig.10 , the engagement of the tooth projection 47 in the recess of the tooth 57 is shown. The tooth 47 and 57 are designed here as a latching device, so that when a minimum torque in one of the rotational directions p1 or p2 on the receiving device 20 is exceeded, the tooth projection 47 automatically moves out of engagement with the tooth 57 in the direction x2 and moves into engagement with the tooth 57 in the set rotational position due to the restoring force of the spring tab 29. Fig.11 It can be seen how the hook projection 42 releasably engages over the edge surface 43 in the locked position.

[0086] exist Figures 12 to 15 , different deflection positions of the receiving device 20 relative to the base part 31 are shown by way of example. Fig.12 In the embodiment, an angle α1 of approximately 30° is formed between the central longitudinal axis m1 of the receiving device 20 and the central longitudinal axis m2 of the base part 31. Fig.13 In the embodiment, the angle α2 between the central longitudinal axes m1 and m2 is approximately 70°, and Fig.14 In FIG. 1 , the angle α3 between the central longitudinal axes m1 and m2 is approximately 90°.

[0087] Next, the blocking device 50 is explained, by which the removal of the tool 22 held in the receiving space 12 can be blocked. The blocking device 50 has a button 18, which is supported so as to be pivotable about the pivot axis a1 in the pivot directions v1 and v2. The geometric pivot axis a1 is formed by the physical axis 39 (only in the Figure 4 The shaft is supported in the shaft recess 41 of the receiving device 20 and forms a hinge G1 with the receiving device (see Fig.16and 17 ).

[0088] The button 18 is designed as a two-arm lever and is Fig.16 There are two regions 48 and 49 , with region 48 being located above pivot axis a1 and region 49 being located below pivot axis a1 . The actuating device 18 can be moved in a seesaw-like manner between a blocking position and a release position by applying pressure to the respective region 48 or 49 . Fig.16 shows the release position and Fig.17 Shows the blocking position. Fig.18a In FIG. 5 , the support device is shown in a front view, wherein the blocking device 50 is in the blocking position. Fig.18a It can be seen that the region 48 has a greater longitudinal extension l2 in the direction z from the deflection axis a1 than the region 49 with the longitudinal extension l3. In addition, the region 48 has a larger surface than the region 49. The blocking position can thus be adjusted more easily than the release position.

[0089] The button 18 is surrounded by a protruding edge web 76 , so that it can be tactilely recessed and easily touched without having to be aimed.

[0090] Button 18 (see Fig.18b ) is provided with a first position mechanism 73 of a positioning device and the housing 32 is provided with a second position mechanism 74 of a positioning device 75. The first position mechanism 73 and / or the second position mechanism 74 are, for example, elastic. The button 18 is stably held in the blocking position or the release position by the first and second position mechanisms 73 and 74 that act together, i.e., the button 18 cannot be accidentally adjusted to a position different from the correspondingly set position. In the blocking position and / or the release position, the button 18 can, for example, have a certain movement margin (clearance).

[0091] For example, the first positioning mechanism 73 and the second positioning mechanism 74 are formed by elastically deformable lips, wherein, when the button 18 is adjusted between the blocking position and the release position, the first positioning mechanism 73 is in the movement track of the second positioning mechanism 74 and can be overcome by the elastic deformation of the positioning mechanisms 73 and 74.

[0092] In order to adjust from the release position to the blocking position or vice versa, it is necessary to cross the dead center of the first and second positioning mechanisms. The dead center is the relative position of the first and second positioning mechanisms in which the button is neither arranged in the blocking position nor in the release position, but just arranged between them.

[0093] In accordance with Fig.19It can be seen in the sectional view that the blocking pin 52 of the operating device 18 passes through the recess 51 of the wall 13 of the receiving device 20 in the blocking position and engages in the receiving space 12. The button can be deflected about the axis a1 in the directions v1 and v2. Fig. 9 In the release position as can be seen in the cross-sectional view of Fig.19 The position of the device is deflected in the direction v2 and the blocking pin 52 hardly extends into the receiving space 12. Fig. 9 The blocking position is reached by deflecting in the direction v1.

[0094] exist Figures 19 to 22 As can be seen in FIG. 1 , when the tool 22 moves in the direction z2, the blocking pin 52 is in the movement path of the tool 22 received in the receiving space 12, here in the housing wall 55 of the tool 22. The removal or accidental release of the tool 22 is therefore impossible.

[0095] Alternatively, the blocking pin 52 can also be located in the path of movement of other components of the respective tool 22 in the removal direction z1 and thus prevent removal from the receiving space 12 .

[0096] exist Fig.23 In the figure, it is shown that according to Figure 2 1 is a side view of a support device 10, wherein a fixing device 60 is provided for fixing the support device 10 to a belt or a tab. The fixing device has a closing part 36, which forms a pivot joint G2 with the base part 31. The base part 31 forms a primary hinge mechanism 27 for this purpose, which interacts with a secondary articulation mechanism 38 of the closing part 36.

[0097] A free end region 54 of the closing part 36 can be pivoted away from the base part 31 about the pivot axis a2 by means of the pivot joint G2 (see Fig.23 and 24 ).according to Fig.23 The closing part 36 is turned away from the base part 31 so that a support part, such as a belt, can be arranged between a first contact surface 67 of the base part 31 and a second contact surface 68 of the closing part 36. The first contact surface 67 faces the second contact surface 68.

[0098] At the end region 54, the closing part 36 has two elastically deformable arms 33, each of which is formed with a closing projection 37. The arms 33 are elastically movable toward each other in accordance with the arrow q1, so that the closing projection 37 can be moved out of the blocking situation of the closing recess 28 of the base part 31 by means of the actuating device 44. By relieving the actuating device 44, the locking projections 37 can be moved away from each other again in accordance with the arrow q2 into engagement with the closing recess 28 due to the elastic restoring force.

[0099] The support device 10 can be locked to a belt or a web, for example, by the belt or web being arranged between the base part 31 and the closing part 36 , which is then brought into a parallel position relative to the base part 31 and the closing projection 37 is then brought into engagement with the closing gap 28 .

[0100] Alternatively, the hinge G2 can also be configured as a film hinge, so that the basic part 31 and the closing part 36 are connected to each other in one piece. Alternatively, the closing part 36 and the basic part 31 can also be configured in one piece and connected via an elastic area, which replaces the hinge G2. In this case, the basic part 31 and the closing part 36 are connected in a pin-shaped manner and the fixing device does not have a closing device, for example, including a closing projection and a closing gap.

[0101] exist Figures 25 to 28 1 shows a particular embodiment of the blocking device 50. In this exemplary embodiment, a device is described which comprises a support device 10 according to the invention and a tool 22. The support device 10 and the tool 22 in this example correspond essentially to the support device 10 and the tool 22 already described above. In this particular embodiment, the blocking pin 52 of the button 18 and the front region 71 of the outer surface 69 of the housing wall 55 form a control device 70 for controlling the blocking device 50.

[0102] In this example, the outer surface 69 and the blocking pin 52 are designed such that when the blocking device 50 of the support device 10 is in the blocking position and the tool 22 is in the blocking position, Fig.25 During introduction into the receiving space 12 of the support device 10 in the direction z2 , the blocking device 50 remains in the blocking position.

[0103] If the tool 22 is moved in the direction z2 into the receiving space 12 (see Fig.25 and 26 ), the pin 52 is prevented from coming into contact with the outer surface 69 of the housing wall 55. The outer surface 69 is shaped in such a way that it deflects the button 18 in the direction u1 when the tool 22 moves relative to the support device 10. The button 18 is deflected only so far in the direction u1 (see Fig. 27 ), so that the tool 22 can pass the blocking pin 52 and move into the holding seat of the supporting device 10 (see Fig.28 ). Then the button 18 moves back to the blocking position along the direction u2. In other words, the dead point of the positioning device 75 is not exceeded.

[0104] according to Fig.28, the tool 22 is in the holding seat and the blocking device 50 is arranged in the blocking position. The blocking pin 52 engages the edge 72 of the housing wall 55 at the back according to FIG. 30, thereby blocking the movement of the tool 22 in the direction z2, ie in the removal direction from the receiving space.

[0105] According to an alternative embodiment, the blocking pin 52 and the outer surface 69 can also be designed in such a way that the blocking device 50 is moved into the release position, in which the dead center is passed when the tool 22 is introduced into the holding seat.

[0106] According to another alternative embodiment or in addition to the features described above, the control device 70 can have a projection (not shown) on the button 18, which is arranged on the end region of the button 18 opposite the blocking pin 52 with respect to the pivot axis a1. If the blocking device 50 is in the release position and the tool 22 is introduced into the receiving space 12 of the support device 10, the outer surface 69 comes into contact with the projection and moves the button 18 away through the dead center, so that when the tool 22 is in the holder according to FIG. 30, the button 18 moves into the blocking position according to FIG. 30.
