Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention relates to a holding arrangement for objects in a vehicle. Furthermore, the invention relates to a vehicle with such a holding arrangement.
[0002] Holding arrangements for objects in a vehicle are known in numerous variations. For example, holding arrangements for objects in the interior are implemented either as a recess or as a fold-out variant. Furthermore, holding arrangements are known that consist of a flexible element and a support surface, with, for example, a cup being clamped between the flexible element and the support surface.
[0003] From CN210310070U, a cup holder arrangement in a vehicle is known which comprises a support surface, a fastening strap, and a strap collector. The support surface is designed as a receiving recess with a supporting base, which can be mounted on a door trim or formed as an integral part of the door trim. The support surface comprises a through-opening at a front and a rear end region of the receiving recess. The strap collector is arranged at a rear side of the receiving arrangement. The fastening strap is connected at one end region to the rear side of the receiving arrangement and at another end region to the strap collector, which rolls up and unrolls the fastening strap. The fastening strap is guided through the through-openings. A cup or bottle inserted into the receiving recess is clamped between the fastening strap and the receiving recess.For this purpose, the fastening tape is rolled up and tensioned by the tape collector.
[0004] A disadvantage of such a cup holder assembly is that the cup holder recess occupies space due to its curvature, regardless of whether the cup holder assembly is in use or not. This necessary space limits the positioning options for the cup holder assembly in the vehicle. Furthermore, a loop of the fastening strap formed by the inserted object can lose its shape when the object is removed. This can make reinsertion of the object more difficult.
[0005] From FR2923774A1 a flexible cup holder device is known which comprises an elongate flexible holding element having a longitudinal end which is movably guided in a recess between a rest position in which the flexible element is adjacent to the vertical wall and at least one operating position in which a central portion of the elongate flexible holding element is remote from the wall and delimits therewith a cup receptacle.
[0006] A disadvantage of such a cup holder device is that the longitudinal end is guided in a recess along a support surface. This recess and its guide elements require installation space regardless of the position of the longitudinal end of the retaining element. This necessary installation space limits the positioning options for the cup holder assembly in the vehicle.
[0007] DE 10 2009 042 548 A1 discloses a storage compartment on a component with an elastically stretchable front wall, which has a receiving space for objects formed by the front wall, a rear wall, a base, and side walls. The rear wall, the base, and the side walls are formed by a receiving recess in the component, and the front wall, as an attachment or built-in part, covers the receiving recess on the opening side, at least in part.
[0008] DE 102011 088 377 A1 discloses a storage compartment for a motor vehicle, which comprises at least one partially elastic, rod-shaped element. The rod-shaped element is fixed at its first end or at least pivotable about a first bearing, and is mounted at its second end in or on the carrier layer of an interior trim part of the motor vehicle, pivotable and displaceable about a second bearing. The rod-shaped element can be transferred from a non-use position to at least one use position. In the non-use position, the rod-shaped element runs parallel and adjacent to the contour of the interior trim part or itself forms part of the contour. Furthermore, the rod-shaped element is mechanically tensioned in the at least one use position.
[0009] From US 5,261,716 A, a vehicle pocket assembly for attachment to the inner panel of a vehicle door is known, which comprises a rigid support element and an integrated front element. The rigid support element is glued to the inner panel of the vehicle door and provided with a decorative cover. The front element comprises a substantially U-shaped frame with a first and a second side portion, a linearly expandable element with first and second partially adjustable, overlapping slats extending between the first and the second side portion, and a cover material that accommodates both the frame and the linearly expandable element. The vehicle pocket assembly can be expanded by pulling the first and second slats towards the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
[0010] The object of the present invention is to provide a holding arrangement for objects in a vehicle which takes up little installation space and which can be arranged flexibly in the vehicle.
[0011] The object of the present invention is also to create a vehicle which has additional storage space for objects.
[0012] These objects are achieved by a holding arrangement for objects in a vehicle having the features of patent claim 1 and by a vehicle having the features of patent claim 10. Advantageous embodiments with expedient further developments of the invention are specified in the dependent patent claims.
[0013] In order to create a holding arrangement for objects in a vehicle which takes up little installation space and which can be arranged flexibly in the vehicle, the holding arrangement comprises a tensioning device which has a contact surface, a spring-elastic guide and contact element and a tensioning strap. The contact surface faces a vehicle interior. The spring-elastic guide and contact element has a free first end region facing the vehicle interior and a fixed second end region. The tensioning strap comprises a fixable first tensioning strap end region and a fixed second tensioning strap end region. In the region of the contact surface, the tensioning strap has a holding section which is guided by an upper side of the spring-elastic guide and contact element. The spring-elastic guide and contact element forms the holding section into a loop.In an operating position, an object to be held is clamped between the formed loop of the tensioning band and the contact surface, wherein the fixable first tensioning band end region of the tensioning band can be fixed to maintain the tensioning force.
[0014] In the following, an object to be held is understood to mean, in particular, a beverage container, such as a bottle, a can, a cup, a mug, or a glass. Beverage containers are typically cylindrical and / or truncated conical, with the diameter depending on the height and fill volume. An object to be held can also be a mobile device, such as a cell phone or a tablet. Furthermore, the object to be held can also be a container for garbage or waste, a charging cable, or other small loose objects.
[0015] In the following, a tensioning strap is understood to be a strap with a length and a width. The tensioning strap generates a tensioning force which presses the object to be held against the contact surface so that the object to be held is securely held between the loop of the tensioning strap and the contact surface. The tensioning strap has a high degree of rigidity across its width in order to be able to hold the weight of the object to be held. The tensioning strap can be elastic or stretchable across its length, with a tensioning force being achieved by stretching the tensioning strap, which can be generated by the object to be held. For example, the tensioning strap can be made of rubber or other suitable elastic materials. This makes it possible to create a space-saving holding arrangement. Alternatively, the tensioning strap can be a strap that is not elastic along its length.The tensioning force can be achieved by positioning or securing the first end portion. For example, the tensioning strap can be made of a webbing.
[0016] The spring-elastic guide and contact element is understood to be a component that can be made of spring steel, for example. A spring force of the spring-elastic guide and contact element advantageously acts away from the contact surface. The free first end region facing the vehicle interior can be moved toward the contact surface against a spring force. The first end region can at least partially rest with its underside against the object to be held, and with its upper side, at least partially guide the holding section.
[0017] The second end region of the guide and contact element and the second tensioning band end region of the tensioning band and the first tensioning band end region of the tensioning band are each understood to be a section which is firmly connected at one end to a suitable fastening region of the vehicle. The fastenings define a section of the end region or regions of the tensioning band that is effective for the tensioning device. For example, the holding section of the tensioning band can be arranged between the fixed first tensioning band end region and the fixed second tensioning band end region of the tensioning band, wherein the respective fastenings of the tensioning band end regions can be arranged at a distance from the respective fastening. Alternatively, the fastening can also form the fastening of the corresponding end region.
[0018] Advantageously, in a rest position in which no object is arranged between the tensioning band and the contact surface, the tensioning band with its first tensioning band end region fixed can be pre-tensioned by the spring-elastic guide and contact element. Furthermore, the section of the tensioning band guided by the spring-elastic guide and contact element can advantageously be lifted from the contact surface. This forms a loop with an opening. An object can advantageously be easily positioned between the tensioning band and the contact surface through this opening. This can facilitate the insertion of an object to be held into the tensioning device. For example, the existing opening can enable one-handed insertion of the object to be held.
[0019] Advantageously, in an operating position in which the object to be held is briefly removed from the tensioning device, the spring-elastic guide and contact element can keep the opening of the loop open. This can make it easier to insert the same object again. For example, one-handed insertion of the object can be made possible without the user having to look. Furthermore, there is no need to readjust the loop to the object to be held. Advantageously, in an operating position in which the object to be held is arranged in the tensioning device, the free first end region of the spring-elastic guide and contact element can at least partially bear against the object to be held. In this case, the free first end region of the spring-elastic guide and contact element is arranged between the tensioning band and the object to be held.This allows the clamping forces and contact pressures acting on the object to be held to be distributed across the spring-elastic guide and contact element. This advantageously prevents deformation of the object to be held completely or at least partially.
[0020] Advantageously, the support surface can have virtually any shape, as a flat or slightly curved area of a panel in the vehicle interior that is not specifically adapted to the object to be held suffices. This allows the holding arrangement to be installed in virtually any interior area of the vehicle, creating numerous additional storage spaces within the vehicle. Furthermore, no supporting floor is required to support the object to be held from below.
[0021] In an advantageous embodiment of the holding arrangement, at least one retaining loop can form a support for the object to be held and can be connected at a first end to the holding section of the tensioning strap and at a second end to the holding section of the tensioning strap or to the contact surface. In an operating position, the retaining loop can at least partially span the opening of the loop formed by the tensioning strap. This allows the object to be held to rest on the retaining loop, which advantageously makes it difficult or even completely impossible for the object to be held to slip through. The retaining loops can be elastic.
[0022] In a further advantageous embodiment of the holding arrangement, the contact surface can be delimited by at least two fixing regions. In this case, the fixed second end region of the guide and contact element and the fixed second tensioning strap end region of the tensioning strap can be arranged in a common fixing region. As a result, the second tensioning strap end region of the tensioning strap can be raised by the guide and contact element. The fastening and fixing of the second end region of the guide and contact element and the second tensioning strap end region of the tensioning strap can be achieved via a positive and / or non-positive and / or material-locking connection to the trim part or another suitable component of the vehicle. In one embodiment, the second end region and / or the second tensioning strap end region can be fastened to the fixing region facing the vehicle interior in a positive or material-locking manner.Alternatively, the fixing area can have at least one opening through which the second end area of the guide and contact element and / or the second end area of the clamping band are guided. Fixing is achieved by force-locking by limiting the degrees of freedom by the opening and by the acting forces. The section of the second end area and / or the section of the second end area of the clamping band that is guided through the opening away from the contact surface is secured in a suitable fastening area.
[0023] In a further advantageous embodiment of the holding arrangement, the first tensioning strap end region can be connected to a winding arrangement which rolls up and unrolls the tensioning strap. By rolling up the tensioning strap, the tensioning strap can be advantageously tensioned. By unrolling the tensioning strap, the tensioning forces can be reduced. The winding arrangement can enable space-saving tensioning of the tensioning strap. Furthermore, the winding arrangement can be arranged in an area not visible to an occupant. For example, the winding arrangement can be arranged on the rear side of the contact area. In this case, the object to be held or a user's hand can widen the loop of the tensioning strap, whereby the winding arrangement unrolls the tensioning strap. In addition, an expandable tensioning strap can stretch when the loop is widened.The winding assembly can also unwind the tensioning strap to reduce the forces and contact pressure acting on the object to be held by expanding the loop. The winding assembly can narrow the loop by winding up the tensioning strap. By narrowing the loop, the tensioning force and / or contact pressure on the object to be held can be increased. Furthermore, by winding up the tensioning strap, the guide and support element can be transferred to a space-saving rest position.
[0024] In a further advantageous embodiment of the holding arrangement, the winding arrangement can be fixable in one state. By fixing it, for example by a locking element acting on a pinion of the winding arrangement, the winding arrangement can be fixed, for example, in the operating position of the tensioning device, in which the object to be held is arranged between the loop and the contact surface. This can prevent the acting tensioning forces from causing the tensioning band to unwind accidentally. Furthermore, the winding arrangement can be fixed, for example, in the operating position of the tensioning device in which the object to be held is briefly removed from the tensioning device. This can prevent or impede unwanted rolling up or unrolling of the tensioning band, whereby the opening of the loop is essentially maintained.Furthermore, the winding assembly can be fixed in a rest position of the tensioning device, in which no object to be held is arranged in the tensioning device, and in which the elastic guide and contact element is pressed against its spring force by the tensioning strap toward the contact surface. This can prevent the tensioning strap from unintentionally unwinding due to the spring force of the spring-elastic guide and contact element. Furthermore, fixing the winding assembly can prevent or at least impede the unintentional unwinding or winding of the tensioning strap and thus an unintentional alteration of the loop by an occupant.
[0025] In a further advantageous embodiment of the holding arrangement, the winding arrangement can have the pinion and a toggle switch. A first actuating element of the toggle switch can, upon a first tilting movement of the toggle switch, drive the pinion in a first direction of rotation, in which the pinion rolls up the tensioning band. A second actuating element of the toggle switch can, upon a tilting movement in a second direction, move a locking element such that the locking element releases the pinion for a second direction of rotation, in which the pinion unrolls the tensioning band. The locking element can be pretensioned such that the locking element blocks the second direction of rotation as long as the second actuating element of the toggle switch does not act on the locking element. By releasing the pinion for the second direction of rotation, the tensioning band can be unrolled and the loop of the tensioning band can be widened in order to adapt the loop to an object to be held.The loop of the tensioning strap can be unwound by the force of a user, the force of the inserted object, or the spring force of the spring-loaded guide and support element. By driving the pinion in the winding direction using the toggle switch, the tensioning strap can be wound up in small increments and thus tensioned. This allows, for example, re-tensioning. The tensioning strap can also be manually pushed toward the pinion. This allows the pinion to move in the winding direction, allowing the tensioning strap to be wound up.
[0026] In an alternative advantageous embodiment of the holding arrangement, the winding arrangement can be pre-tensioned, wherein the tensioning force of the winding arrangement is greater than the spring force of the spring-elastic guide and contact element. As a result, the winding arrangement automatically rolls up the tensioning strap. As a result, the loop of the tensioning strap can automatically tighten around the object to be held after it has been manually widened by inserting the object to be held against the tensioning force of the winding arrangement. Furthermore, after the object to be held has been removed, the tensioning strap can be automatically rolled up and the guide and contact element can be moved into the rest position. The winding arrangement can be secured by a locking element. For example, a pinion can be fixed in the rolling-up direction by the locking element in the operating position in which the object to be held is arranged between the loop and the contact surface.This allows the object to be removed without the winding assembly winding up the tensioning strap. The spring-elastic guide and support element keeps the loop opening open in this position.
[0027] In a further advantageous embodiment of the retaining arrangement, the winding arrangement can, in the rest position, press the guide and contact element toward the contact surface via the tensioning strap. In this position, the guide and contact element protrudes little to no distance from the contact surface. This allows the space occupied by the guide and contact element in the rest position in the vehicle interior to be reduced.
[0028] In a further advantageous embodiment of the holding arrangement, the contact surface can be delimited by at least one opening, wherein the tensioning band is guided through at least one tensioning band opening and / or the spring-elastic guide and contact element is guided through at least one guide and contact element opening. For example, the first tensioning band end region can be guided through the tensioning band opening in the corresponding fixing area. The corresponding end can be fastened to the trim part or, if present, to the winding arrangement. This can conceal the winding arrangement or the fastening of the first tensioning band end region. The appearance of the tensioning device in the vehicle interior can thereby be improved. Additionally or alternatively, the second end region of the guide and contact element can be guided through a guide and contact element opening in the corresponding fixing area.This allows a section of the guide and support element protruding from the opening to be lengthened or shortened as needed, thereby altering the leverage effect. Furthermore, the second clamping strap end section can be guided through another clamping strap opening in the corresponding fixing area. This allows the fastening of the second clamping strap end section to be concealed.
[0029] To create a vehicle with additional storage space for objects, the vehicle comprises a vehicle interior with at least one trim element. At least one retaining arrangement according to the invention is arranged in the vehicle interior. The retaining arrangement according to the invention can advantageously be arranged on a door trim element and / or on a seat trim element, in particular on the rear of a seat, and / or on a trunk trim element and / or on an instrument panel trim element. This allows additional, easy-to-use and space-saving retaining arrangements to be arranged in a wide variety of interior areas, thus easily creating storage space in these interior areas.
[0030] The advantages and preferred embodiments described for the holding arrangement according to the invention also apply to the vehicle according to the invention.
[0031] The features and feature combinations mentioned above in the description, as well as the features and feature combinations mentioned below in the description of the figures and / or shown alone in the figures, can be used not only in the respective combinations specified, but also in other combinations or on their own, without departing from the scope of the invention. Thus, embodiments are also to be considered encompassed and disclosed by the invention that are not explicitly shown or explained in the figures, but which emerge and can be produced from the explained embodiments through separate feature combinations.
[0032] An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawings and explained in more detail in the following description. In the drawings, like reference numerals denote components or elements that perform the same or similar functions. Herein: Fig. 1 is a schematic sectional view of an embodiment of a holding arrangement according to the invention in an operating position; and Fig. 2 a schematic sectional view of the holding arrangement according to the invention from Fig. 1 in a rest position.
[0033] As from Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the holding arrangement 1 according to the invention for objects 30 in a vehicle 40 has a tensioning device 10 which has a contact surface 12, a spring-elastic guide and contact element 14 and a tensioning band 16. The contact surface 12 faces a vehicle interior 2. The spring-elastic guide and contact element 14 has a free first end region 14.1 facing the vehicle interior and a fixed second end region 14.2. The tensioning band 16 has a fixable first tensioning band end region 16.1 and a fixed second tensioning band end region 16.2. The tensioning band 16 has a holding section 16.3 in the region of the contact surface 12, which is guided by an upper side 14.3 of the spring-elastic guide and contact element 14. The spring-elastic guide and contact element 14 forms the holding section 16.3 into a loop 16.4, wherein in an operating position, an object 30 to be held is clamped between the formed loop 16.4 of the tensioning band 16 and the contact surface 12. The fixable first tensioning band end region 16.1 of the tensioning band 16 can be fixed to maintain the tensioning force.
[0034] In the illustrated embodiment, the tensioning strap 16 is designed as a belt strap whose transverse extension runs in the vertical direction z of the holding arrangement 1 and whose longitudinal extension runs essentially along the longitudinal direction x of the holding arrangement 1. Other suitable straps are also conceivable.
[0035] In the illustrated embodiment of the holding arrangement 1 according to the invention, the contact surface 12 is flat and has a width that runs in the longitudinal direction x of the holding arrangement 1. The contact surface 12 has a length that runs in the vertical direction z of the holding arrangement 1 according to the invention. In this case, the contact surface 12 is at least as wide and as long that an expected object 30 to be held with a sufficiently large surface area can be pressed against the contact surface 12. In an alternative embodiment of the holding arrangement 1 according to the invention (not shown), the contact surface 12 can also be slightly curved or curved. The contact surface 12 is arranged on an upper side of a trim element 4 facing the vehicle interior 2.
[0036] In the illustrated embodiment, the spring-elastic guide and contact element 14 is designed as a curved spring plate. The spring force of the spring-elastic guide and contact element 14 acts away from the contact surface 12, whereby an opening 16.5 of the formed loop 16.4 is kept open regardless of whether an object 30 is arranged between the loop 16.4 and the contact surface 12. The first end region 14.1 is bent or curved such that an underside 14.4 can at least partially rest against an outer side of a cylindrical object 30. The first end region 14.1 can be placed against various objects 30 with different diameters. The longitudinal extent of the spring-elastic guide and contact element 14 runs essentially in the longitudinal direction x of the holding arrangement 1.In the illustrated embodiment, the spring-elastic guide and contact element 14 spans over half the width of the intended contact surface 12.
[0037] In an alternative embodiment of the holding arrangement 1 according to the invention (not shown), the spring-elastic guide and contact element 14 can also have a different shape and a different length. For example, the spring-elastic guide and contact element 14 can be adapted to shapes other than those with a round cross-section.
[0038] In an alternative embodiment of the holding arrangement 1 according to the invention (not shown), the holding arrangement 1 can have at least one catch loop. The catch loop can form a support for the object 30 to be held and can be connected at a first end and a second end to the holding section 16.3 of the tensioning strap 16. This allows the catch loop to span an opening 16.5 enclosed by the loop 16.4. Since the loop 16.4 can have different circumferences depending on the inserted object or the object 30 to be held, the ends of the catch loop are not always arranged opposite one another and can be offset from one another. Furthermore, the ends of the catch loop are arranged at different regions of the circumference of each loop 16.4 formed. Multiple catch loops can also be arranged on the holding section 16.3.Additionally or alternatively, one or more catch loops can be connected at their first end to the holding section 16.3 of the tensioning strap 16 and at their second end to the contact surface 12. The catch loops thereby form bridges between the formed loop 16.4 and the contact surface 12. The ends of the catch loops can also be offset from one another. To compensate for a larger offset, the catch loops can be designed to be stretchable. The catch loop(s) bridge the opening 16.5 of the tensioning strap 16, enclosed by the loop 16.4, and the contact surface 12. This allows the object to be held to be supported from below by the catch loop(s).
[0039] As from Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the contact surface 12 in the illustrated embodiment is delimited by at least two fixing regions 4.1, 4.2 in the longitudinal direction x of the arrangement 1. The fixed second end region 14.2 of the elastic guide and contact element 14 and the fixed second tensioning band end region 16.2 of the tensioning band 16 are arranged in a common fixing region 4.2. The fixed second tensioning band end region 16.2 of the tensioning band 16 is guided on the upper side 14.3 of the spring-elastic guide and contact element 14. In the illustrated embodiment, the end of the second tensioning band end region 16.2 is connected to the corresponding cladding element 4 at a fastening region 16.6 in the common fixing region 4.2. The fixed first tensioning band end region 16.1 of the tensioning band 16 is arranged in a further fixing region 4.1.
[0040] As from Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the contact surface 12 in the illustrated embodiment is delimited by two openings 18. The first clamping band end region 16.1 is guided through a clamping band opening 18.1, and the spring-elastic guide and contact element 14 is guided through a guide and contact element opening 18.2. As a result, both fixing regions 4.1, 4.2 each have an opening 18. The first clamping band end region 16.1 is guided through the clamping band opening 18.1 and fixed by the acting forces. The second end region 14.2 of the spring-elastic guide and contact element 14 is guided through the guide and contact element opening 18.2 and fixed by the acting forces.
[0041] As from Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, a section of the second end region 14.2 of the spring-elastic guide and contact element 14 and a section of the first tensioning strap end region 16.1 of the tensioning strap 16 can be arranged as a reserve in a non-visible area behind the respective opening 18. As a result, the section of the second end region 14.2 of the spring-elastic guide and contact element 14 and of the first tensioning strap end region 16.1 of the tensioning strap 16 that projects through the respective opening 18 can be lengthened or shortened as needed. In the illustrated embodiment, the first tensioning strap end region 16.1 and the second end region 14.2 of the spring-elastic guide and contact element 14 are guided to a rear side of the trim part 4 and fastened there to the trim part 4 or another suitable component. In an alternative embodiment not shown, the first tensioning strap end region 16.1 and the second end region 14.2 of the spring-elastic guide and contact element 14 can also be guided around a corner or into a housing.
[0042] In an alternative, not shown, embodiment, the second fixing region 4.2 can have a tensioning strap opening 18.1 through which the second tensioning strap end region 16.2 is guided. This also allows the second tensioning strap end region 16.2 to be secured in a non-visible area.
[0043] In an alternative embodiment (not shown), the fixing regions 4.1, 4.2 may not have any openings. In this case, the second end region 14.2 of the resilient guide and support element 14 and the first clamping band end region 16.2 are connected to the panel 4 in a fastening region of the fixing regions 4.1, 4.2.
[0044] In an embodiment not shown, both tensioning band end regions 16.1, 16.2 can be connected to the panel 4 at a fastening area in the respective fixing region 4.1, 4.2. In this embodiment, no reserve of the tensioning band 16 is provided. The adjustment of the loop 16.4 and the generation of the tensioning forces occur by stretching the stretchable tensioning band 16. The second end region 14.2 of the spring-elastic guide and contact element 14 can also be connected to the panel 4 at a fastening area in the fixing region 4.2 or can be guided through the guide and contact element opening 18.2 and connected to the panel or another suitable component at a concealed fastening area.
[0045] As from Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the first tensioning strap end region 16.1 is connected to a winding arrangement 20, wherein the winding arrangement 20 rolls up and unrolls the tensioning strap 16. In the illustrated embodiment, the winding arrangement 20 comprises a contact pressure contour 23 for increasing the frictional resistance of the tensioning strap 16.
[0046] In an alternative embodiment not shown, instead of a winding arrangement 20, another suitable arrangement for storing the reserve of the first tensioning strap end region 16.1 is also conceivable.
[0047] As from Fig. 1 and Fig. As can be further seen in Figure 2, the winding assembly 20 can be fixed in one state. In particular, the winding assembly 20 can be fixed in the position in which the object 30 to be held is inserted into the tensioning assembly 10. This prevents or impedes unintentional widening of the formed loop 16.4, and ensures a secure hold of the object 30 to be held.
[0048] As from Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the winding arrangement 20 in the illustrated embodiment has a pinion 22 and a toggle switch 26, wherein a first actuating element 26.1 of the toggle switch 26 drives the pinion 22 in a first rotational direction upon a first tilting movement of the toggle switch 26, in which direction the pinion 22 rolls up the tensioning band 16. In this case, a step-by-step re-tensioning or tensioning of the tensioning band 16 is possible by the toggle switch 26. Alternatively, the tensioning band 16 can be pressed manually in the direction of the tensioning band opening 18.1, whereby the tensioning band 16 causes the pinion 22 to rotate in the winding direction. A second actuating element 26.2 of the toggle switch 26 moves a locking element 24 during a tilting movement in a second direction, so that the locking element 24 releases the pinion 22 for a second direction of rotation, in which the pinion 22 rolls off the tensioning band 16.The locking element 24 prevents the tensioned tensioning band 16 from unwinding. If an adjustment of the loop 16.4 by widening the loop 16.4 is desired, the locking element 24 is moved by the toggle switch 26 and the tensioning band 16 can be unwound. In the illustrated embodiment, the locking element 24 is pretensioned and acts on the pinion 22. The second actuating element 26.2 of the toggle switch 26 moves the locking element 24 against the pretensioning force into an unlocking position. The holding section 16.3 provided for the formed loop 16.4 remains constant in its length until the toggle switch 26 causes the tensioning band 16 to roll up and thereby shorten the holding section 16.3, or until the tensioning band 16 is unwound and thereby lengthen the holding section 16.3. The tighter the loop 16.4 is by shortening the holding section 16.3 is pulled, the greater the clamping forces and contact pressures acting on the object 30 to be held. The holding section 16.3 provided for the formed loop 16.4 remains constant in its length due to the fixation even when the object 30 to be held is removed.
[0049] As from Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the winding arrangement 20 has a receptacle 28 for the reserve of the tensioning strap 16.
[0050] In an alternative embodiment of the holding arrangement 1 (not shown), the winding arrangement 20 is pre-tensioned, wherein the tensioning force of the winding arrangement 20 is greater than the spring force of the spring-elastic guide and contact element 14. The pre-tensioning force acts in the winding direction of the pinion 22. This allows the tensioning band 16 to be automatically wound up, causing an automatic shortening of the holding section 16.3 and thus an automatic narrowing of the loop 16.4. In this embodiment, the pinion 22 can also be locked in its position by a locking element 24. This can prevent further winding of the tensioning band 16. This also allows the object 30 to be held to be removed without changing the length of the holding section 16.3. The locking element 24 can also be coupled to a toggle switch.
[0051] As from Fig. 2, in the rest position the winding arrangement 20 presses the guide and contact element 14 via the tensioning band 16 in the direction of the contact surface 12.
[0052] As from Fig. As can be further seen in Figure 2, the holding arrangement 1 according to the invention, in a rest position in which no object 30 to be held is inserted into the clamping device 10, occupies a small installation space in the transverse direction y of the arrangement 1. The clamping band 16 and the spring-elastic guide and contact element 14 are arranged close to the contact surface 12 and protrude minimally into the vehicle interior 2.
[0053] As from Fig. As can be further seen from Figure 1, the holding arrangement 1 according to the invention, in an operating position, only occupies the installation space in the vehicle interior 2 necessary for the object 30 to be held. The clamping device 10 can be adapted to a large number of objects.
[0054] The insertion of the object 30 to be held takes place in the following steps. In a first step, the loop 16.4 of the tensioning band 16 is widened by hand or with the object 30 to be held. In a further step, the object to be held is brought into the desired position in the vertical direction z of the arrangement 1. The acting tensioning forces of the tensioning band 16 press the object 30 against the contact surface 12. Depending on the design of the holding arrangement 1 according to the invention, the tensioning band 16 can be retightened or loosened. The object 30 can be removed if necessary; the opening 16.5 of the loop 16.4 remains open thanks to the spring-elastic guide and contact element 14. This allows the object 30 to be reinserted into the holding arrangement 1 without readjusting the loop 16.4.
[0055] A vehicle 40 according to the invention (not shown in detail) comprises a vehicle interior 2 with at least one trim element 4. According to the invention, at least one retaining arrangement 1 according to the invention is arranged in the vehicle interior 2. The trim element 4 can be a door trim element and / or a seat trim element, in particular on the rear of a seat, and / or a trunk trim element and / or an instrument panel trim element.
