[0001] Holding device for holding an object on an assembly
[0002] Description
[0003] The invention relates to a holding device for holding an object on an assembly according to the preamble of claim 1.
[0004] Such a holding device comprises a first closure part, which has an insertion opening and a sliding section adjoining the insertion opening and has two edge sections extending along a sliding direction, and which forms a so-called female part. The holding device further comprises a second closure part, which has an engagement element with a head and a shaft extending from the head, and which forms a so-called male part.To close the holding device for holding the object to the assembly, the engagement element can be inserted with its head into the insertion opening of the first closure part and then displaced along the displacement direction from the region of the insertion opening into the displacement section, so that the engagement element, when displaced with its head, engages behind the edge sections and extends with its shaft between the edge sections and slides along the edge sections until the engagement element reaches a holding position in which the first closure part and the second closure part are held together. The first closure part and the second closure part can be separated from one another to remove the object from the assembly.
[0005] Such a holding device can serve, in particular, as a tool holder, for example, for holding a tool on a tool belt. The first closure part can be attached to a belt, for example, so that a tool can be arranged on the belt and connected to the belt via the holding device.
[0006] Such a holding device should be easy for a user to handle, for example for holding a tool, and in the held position create a reliable connection between the object and the assembly. A holding device, in particular for holding a tool, should be easy and comfortable for a user to handle, even in difficult environments, for example when the tool is used in industrial applications, e.g. on construction sites. An object, in particular a tool, should be easy and reliable to connect to the associated assembly via the holding device, be held securely and resiliently to the assembly in the held position, and be easy and intuitive to separate from the assembly again. The holding device should also be as insensitive to contamination as possible.
[0007] A holding device known from US 10,271,634 is designed as a tool holder and has a locking part on which a sliding section is formed, into which another locking part with a spherical engagement element can be inserted. In an end position, the engagement element can be tilted by 90°, so that the engagement element can be brought into a hanging position in the end position.
[0008] The object of the present invention is to provide a holding device for holding an object on an assembly, which is easy and comfortable for a user to handle even in industrial applications and can provide a reliable hold of the object on the assembly in a holding position.
[0009] This object is achieved by an article having the features of claim 1.
[0010] Accordingly, the first closure part has a first magnetic element, and the second closure part has a second magnetic element. The first magnetic element and the second magnetic element interact in a magnetically attractive manner to assist in inserting the engagement element into the insertion opening. The first closure 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 the holding position. The holding device serves to hold an object on an assembly, for example, to hold a tool on an associated carrying device, for example, a tool belt.Thus, for example, a tool, for example a hammer or an electromotive tool such as a cordless screwdriver or the like, can be connected to the associated carrying device via the holding device, so that in a holding position the tool is held securely and reliably on the carrying device.
[0011] For a reliable hold and also for a simple, convenient connection of the object to the assembly, a first closure part of the holding device has an insertion opening and a sliding section adjoining the insertion opening. The sliding section has two edge sections extending along a sliding direction. A second closure part, in contrast, has an engagement element. To close the holding device, the engagement element can be inserted with a head into the insertion opening of the first closure part in order to then be pushed with the head along the sliding direction from the region of the insertion opening into the sliding section and thus establish a connection between the closure parts. In a holding position, the engagement element engages in the sliding section in a particularly form-fitting manner and thus establishes a connection between the closure parts.
[0012] The edge sections of the sliding section can be parallel to each other along the sliding direction or can be oriented at a (small) angle of up to 15° to the sliding direction. If the edge sections are oriented at an angle to the sliding direction, the edge sections converge in the sliding direction, so that a slot formed between the edge sections tapers in the sliding direction.
[0013] With regard to its extension length along the direction of displacement, the displacement section can be designed to be longer than it is wide, preferably more than twice as long. In general, the displacement section is designed to be long enough that the engagement element, pushed out of the insertion opening into the displacement section, can be pushed into the holding position in the displacement section, wherein upon displacement the head engages behind the edge sections and the shaft extends between the edge sections, so that upon displacement the engagement element is already held in a form-fitting manner on the first closure part along a direction perpendicular to the displacement direction and a transverse direction. The transverse direction corresponds to the direction along which the edge sections are spaced from one another.
[0014] Because the engagement element is pushed from the insertion opening into the sliding section when connecting the closure parts to one another and is in engagement with the sliding section in the holding position, a secure connection between the closure parts can be created, wherein the engagement element is held securely and reliably in the sliding section by the locking element and cannot easily slide out of the area of the sliding section.
[0015] The displacement path defined by the edge sections through their longitudinal extension can, in particular, be greater than an undercut depth of the second closure part, preferably significantly (several times) greater. The undercut depth is defined by the increased width of the head compared to the shaft. The head is larger than the shaft, in particular with a larger diameter in the transverse direction, so that the head engages behind the edge sections during displacement and in the holding position, and the shaft extends between the edge sections.
[0016] The holding device is designed as a magnetic holding device, with each closure part having a magnetic element. The magnetic elements of the closure parts interact in a magnetically attractive manner, so that the attachment of the closure parts to one another is magnetically assisted. Due to the magnetic support of the magnetic elements, the engagement element largely automatically engages with the insertion opening when the closure parts approach one another, so that the closure parts preferably find each other easily, advantageously largely automatically, and closing the closure device is thus particularly simple and convenient for the user.
[0017] The magnetic elements can, for example, each be formed by a permanent magnet, wherein the permanent magnets face each other with unlike poles when the closure parts are placed against each other and thus attract each other magnetically. However, the magnetic elements can also be designed on the one hand by a permanent magnet and on the other hand by a magnetic armature, for example made of a ferromagnetic material and thus as a passively magnetic element. In addition, the first closure 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 the holding position. The position of the engagement element is thus additionally secured by the locking element when the engagement element is pushed into the sliding section to connect the closure parts to one another.The locking element is designed in particular to block, in a locked position, movement of the engagement element out of the holding position counter to the displacement direction, such that the engagement element cannot be moved out of the displacement section. The engagement element is thus blocked in the holding position in the displacement section and thus relative to the first closure part, such that the engagement element cannot be easily moved out of the displacement section, at least not without canceling the locking effect of the locking element, and the second closure part thus cannot be separated from the first closure part. In order to separate the closure parts from one another, the locking effect must be canceled, such that the engagement element can be moved in the displacement section counter to the displacement direction and moved out of the displacement section.
[0018] The housing of the first closure part preferably also forms the sliding section and also the insertion opening.
[0019] The first closure part can, for example, be assigned to the assembly, for example, a carrying device, such as a tool belt. The second closure part, in contrast, can be assigned to the object, for example, a tool. By connecting the closure parts to one another, a connection can be established between the object and the assembly, for example, a tool with an associated carrying device.
[0020] Alternatively, in kinematic reversal, it is also possible that the first closure part is assigned to the object, for example a tool, and the second closure part is assigned to the assembly, 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 a closing direction, with the displacement direction being directed transversely to the closing direction. The insertion opening has a larger clear width than the displacement section and can be designed, for example, as a round, e.g., circular opening. The insertion opening can, for example, have a funnel shape, so that a guide is also provided in the region of the insertion opening for guiding the engagement element toward the entrance of the displacement section when the closure parts are placed against one another to close the holding device.
[0022] In one embodiment, the first magnetic element is arranged in the region of the insertion opening on the first closure part. The first magnetic element can, for example, be arranged on a base that delimits the insertion opening in the closing direction and with which the head of the engagement element comes into contact when the closure parts are placed against one another. The first magnetic element is preferably arranged in front of the displacement section, viewed along the displacement direction, and thus slightly outside the region of the displacement section.
[0023] The first magnetic element is thus designed to pull the head of the engagement element into engagement with the insertion opening to close the holding device. Because the first magnetic element is arranged in the region of the insertion opening, for example on a boundary wall of the insertion opening, the first magnetic element, through interaction with the second magnetic element, for example on the engagement element of the second closure part, assists the insertion of the engagement element into the insertion opening by drawing the head of the engagement element into the insertion opening by the magnetic attraction force. The magnetic attraction provided by the magnetic elements thus serves in particular to facilitate the attachment of the closure parts to one another.
[0024] The secure hold of the closure parts to one another is then established - after inserting the engagement element into the insertion opening to close the holding device - by displacing the head of the engagement element in the displacement direction from the region of the insertion opening into the displacement section. While the magnetic elements are brought closer to one another when inserting the engagement element into the insertion opening, in one embodiment the second magnetic element of the second closure part is moved away from the first magnetic element of the first closure part when the engagement element is moved into the displacement section, so that the magnetic attraction is weakened. In the holding position, the hold is thus primarily provided by the engagement of the engagement element in the displacement section. In one embodiment, the head of the engagement element can, for example, be rotationally symmetrical (with respect to the closing direction).The head of the engagement element is thus designed to be rotationally symmetrical about a rotational axis extending along the closing direction. This has the advantage that the second closure part can be attached to the first closure part in any rotational position (about the rotational axis) and can also be rotated relative to the first closure part in the holding position. An object held by the holding device can thus be variably positioned on the associated assembly, with a reliable hold provided by the holding device.
[0025] The second magnetic element can be arranged in particular on the engagement element, preferably within the head of the engagement element. The second magnetic element can, for example, be cylindrical and, for example, arranged concentrically to the rotational symmetry axis of the head of the engagement element. A magnetic attraction is thus provided directly on the engagement element, so that the engagement element is drawn directly into engagement with the insertion opening by the magnetic interaction of the magnetic elements when the holding device is closed.
[0026] 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 a spherical shape, at least in sections, whose engagement with the displacement section in the holding position ensures that the closure parts are held together. The spherical design of the engagement element has the further advantage that the engagement element can pivot, if necessary, in a plane transverse to the displacement direction relative to the first closure part within a certain angular range, allowing the object to assume a flexibly variable position on the associated assembly.
[0027] The sliding section is delimited by two edge sections. The edge sections extend, for example, longitudinally along the sliding direction and preferably run parallel to one another at least in sections, but can also extend at a certain (small) angle to one another. The edge sections form a slot between them, through which the engagement element engages in the holding position. The slot can be short, for example, corresponding to a length only slightly greater than the undercut depth of the second closure part, but is preferably long, namely several times longer than the undercut depth.To create a hold, the head of the engagement element, for example in the form of a ball head, engages behind the edge sections so that the engagement element is pushed along the edge sections in a form-fitting manner when moved with reference to the closing direction and is held in the holding position on the first closure part. The displacement section is thus open to the outside via a slot formed between the edge sections. A space located on the inside of the locking sections is widened relative to the slot so that the head of the engagement element can be pushed into the displacement section and rests with the shaft in the area of the slot so that the closure parts are held together in a form-fitting manner by the head of the engagement element engaging behind the edge sections.
[0028] The edge sections are rigidly formed on the housing of the second closure part.
[0029] When moved and in the holding position, the shaft extends through a gap between the edge sections. The head, in contrast, engages behind the edge sections in a form-fitting manner, thereby securing the closure parts to one another. The head has a larger diameter than the shaft (measured along the transverse direction, along which the edge sections are spaced from one another). The gap between the edge sections is wide enough that the shaft can extend through the gap, but the head cannot be moved through the gap (along the closing direction). The head, which may be spherical, for example, is thus held in the sliding section in a form-fitting manner (with reference to the closing direction).
[0030] In one embodiment, the second closure part has a base. The shaft is arranged on the base and carries the head at an end facing away from the base. The second closure part can be connected, for example, to an associated assembly via the base.
[0031] In one embodiment, the engagement element is adjustably arranged on the base. For example, the engagement element can be at least partially received in a receiving opening in the base in a retracted position and moved into an operating position with the head out of the receiving opening, wherein the engagement element can be inserted into the insertion opening in the operating position and pushed into the sliding section. This makes it possible to design the second closure part in such a way that, in a non-use position, the engagement element is concealed and does not protrude from the base or only protrudes slightly. If the second closure part is not connected to the first closure part, the engagement element is retracted into the base, for example by magnetic action between magnetic elements arranged on the base and on the engagement element or by a preload of a mechanical spring.When approaching the first closure part, the engagement element is extended and thus protrudes from the receiving opening so that the engagement element can be inserted with the head into the insertion opening and moved into the sliding section.
[0032] The extension of the engagement element from the retracted position into the operating position can, for example, take place automatically by magnetic action between the first magnetic element on the first closure part and the second magnetic element on the engagement element of the second closure part when the closure parts are brought closer to each other.
[0033] In one embodiment, the locking element is preloaded relative to the housing toward the locking position. Due to the preload, the locking element thus assumes the locking position on the housing when the locking element is not actuated to move out of the locking position. If the engagement element is in the holding position, the locking element automatically assumes the locking position and locks the engagement element in the sliding section.
[0034] The preload can be effected, for example, by spring mechanics, for example via a spring element, by means of which the locking element is preloaded relative to the housing.
[0035] In another embodiment, the preload is achieved magnetically, for example. For this purpose, the locking element can have, for example, a third magnetic element that interacts with the first magnetic element in a magnetically attractive manner, so that the locking element is preloaded toward the locked position. The third magnetic element can be formed, for example, by a permanent magnet with an opposite pole pointing toward the first magnetic element. Alternatively, the third magnetic element can be made of a magnetic armature made of a ferromagnetic material that interacts with the first magnetic element in a magnetically attractive manner.Due to the magnetic interaction of the first magnetic element and the third magnetic element, when the locking element is not actuated, the locking element is magnetically loaded in the direction of the locking position and thus held in the locking position, so that the locking element assumes the locking position when the engagement element is in the holding position.
[0036] In one embodiment, the locking element is designed such that when the engagement element is displaced in the displacement section in the displacement direction for moving the engagement element into the holding position, the locking element is moved out of the locking position. When the engagement element is displaced in the displacement section, the engagement element with its head or another section of the second closure part thus interacts with the locking element to deflect the locking element out of the locking position. The locking element or the other section of the second closure part can thus be moved over the engagement element, so that the engagement element can be displaced in the displacement section toward the holding position.
[0037] In one embodiment, the locking element has a locking portion that projects into the region of the sliding portion to lock the engagement element in the locking position, particularly into a region of the sliding portion within which the engagement element is moved during displacement. 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 sliding portion and cannot be moved out of the sliding portion.
[0038] In this embodiment, the locking section can, for example, have a ramp section that is directed obliquely to the displacement direction and onto which the head of the engagement element runs when displaced in the displacement direction to transfer the engagement element into the holding position, so that the locking section can be adjusted out of the locked position and thus the engagement element can be moved past the locking section. Counter to the displacement direction, the locking section forms, for example, a locking surface that is preferably directed at least approximately perpendicular to the displacement direction, so that the engagement element strikes the locking surface with its head and is thereby locked in the displacement section when the locking section is in the locked position and the engagement element is in the holding position.
[0039] In one embodiment, the locking section can also form a ramp section opposite to the direction of displacement, onto which the head of the engagement element runs when displaced counter to the direction of displacement. This allows the holding device to be opened by a user without special actuation of the locking element by moving the engagement element counter to the direction of displacement with a force exceeding a limit force, thereby pushing the locking element aside, thus releasing the locking.
[0040] In one embodiment, the locking element is pivotally mounted on the housing of the first closure part. For this purpose, the locking element can, for example, have a bearing element, for example in the form of an axle element, via which the locking element is pivotally supported on the housing. The locking element can thus be pivoted relative to the housing from the locked position.
[0041] In particular, the locking element can be designed in the manner of a rocker, in which the locking element is in an initial position in the locking position and can be tilted out of the locking position to close the holding device and also to open the holding device, in order to automatically return to the initial position corresponding to the locking position after actuation due to a pretension relative to the housing of the first closure part.
[0042] In another embodiment, the locking element can, for example, be arranged on the housing in a linearly adjustable manner and can, for example, be designed in the manner of a pin.
[0043] In one embodiment, the locking element has a handle for actuation by a user to unlock the engagement element. While the locking element is preferably automatically deflected out of the locked position when the holding device is closed, allowing the closure parts to be moved toward one another to close the holding device, the locking element can be actuated by a user to open the holding device by the user engaging the handle and thereby manually moving the locking element relative to the housing of the first closure part. The locking element can thus be moved out of a locked position, for example by moving a locking section of the locking element out of the region of the sliding section, so that the locking of the engagement element in the sliding section is released, allowing the closure parts to be separated from one another.
[0044] In one embodiment, the handle is arranged on a first side of the insertion opening with respect to the displacement direction, while the displacement section extends on a second side of the insertion opening facing away from the first side. The handle on the one hand and the displacement section on the other hand are thus located on different sides of the insertion opening. In this case, it can be provided that the handle is to be actuated with an opening movement directed in the displacement direction to unlock the engagement element, while the engagement element is to be moved along the displacement section counter to the displacement direction to separate the first closure part and the second closure part from one another. The handle and the engagement element can therefore be moved in different directions, namely towards one another, to open the holding device.This makes opening the holding device particularly intuitive for a user, as the user can, for example, use two fingers to grasp the handle on the one hand and the second locking part on the other hand to press them towards each other and thereby open the holding device.
[0045] In one embodiment, a carrying device comprises a holding device of the type described above for carrying a tool.
[0046] In one embodiment, a carrying device comprises a holding device of the type described above for carrying an electrical or electronic device, in particular an electrical tool, for example a cordless screwdriver or cordless drill.

[0126] Fig. 1 to 17 show views of an embodiment of a holding device 1 which serves to hold an object 5 shown in Fig. 17, for example a tool, on an associated assembly 4, for example a belt.
[0127] The holding device 1 comprises a first closure part 2 and a second closure part 3, which can be placed against one another along a closing direction X and, in a holding position, provide a firm hold on one another. The first closure part 2 can be connected, for example, to the assembly 4, for example, the belt. The second closure part 3 can be assigned, for example, to the object 5, for example, the tool, and thus support the object.
[0128] The first closure part 2 has a housing 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 along a sliding direction V adjoins. The sliding section 201 is delimited by edge sections 202 extending longitudinally along the sliding direction V, aligned parallel to one another, which project inward (towards one another) relative to an interior of the sliding section 201 (see, for example, the sectional view according to Fig. 11B) and thus define a slot having a reduced width compared to an interior space of the sliding section 201, as can be seen from the sectional view according to Fig. 11B.
[0129] 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 shaft 311.
[0130] To connect the closure parts 2, 3 to one another, the second closure part 3 with the engagement element 31 can be inserted into the insertion opening 200. The insertion opening 200 has a substantially circular opening shape and tapers conically inwardly, so that when the engagement element 31 is inserted into the insertion opening 200 in the closing direction X, the engagement element 31 with the head 310 is guided into the region of the entrance of the sliding section 201. To further connect the closure parts 2, 3, the engagement element 31 with the head 310 can then be pushed into the sliding section 201, so that the shaft 311 passes through the slot formed between the edge sections 202 and the head 310 lies in the interior of the sliding section 21 and thereby creates a positive connection between the closure parts 2, 3, as can be seen, for example, from the sectional view according to Fig. 16B.
[0131] In the assembled position, the housing parts 20, 21, 24 of the housing of the first closure part 2 are firmly connected to one another. The housing part 21 forms a receiving space 213 in its interior, in which a locking element 22 is accommodated, which is pivotally mounted on a bearing surface 241 of the housing part 24 via a bearing element 222 in the form of an axle element. The locking element 22 is thus pivotable on the housing, with a handle 221 projecting outward from the housing and being operable by a user to unlock the holding device 1, as can be seen, for example, in Figs. 5 and 6.
[0132] With a locking portion 223 arranged on a base portion 224, the locking element 22 projects into the region of the sliding portion 201 when the locking element 22 is in a locking position, so that the engagement element 31 is locked in its holding position in the sliding portion 201, as can be seen from the sectional view according to Fig. 16E.
[0133] The housing part 21 forms a base 211, which forms the base of the insertion opening 200 and the sliding portion 201. An opening 212 is formed in the base 211, through which the locking portion 225 extends when the locking element 22 is in the locking position.
[0134] The housing part 24 is secured to the housing part 21 by fastening elements 240 in the form of screws. The housing parts 20, 21 are also fastened to one another, for example by screws or by an adhesive bond.
[0135] 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, as can be seen, for example, from the sectional view according to Fig. 11 E. The second closure part 3 has a second magnetic element 33, which is received within the engagement element 31 and is arranged concentrically to the rotationally symmetrical engagement element 33, as can be seen, for example, from Fig. 11 E.
[0136] The magnetic element 23 is received on the housing part 21 and covered by a (non-magnetic) plate element 210 to a side facing inwards, away from the bottom 211.
[0137] Also arranged on the locking element 22 is a third magnetic element 220, which is received on the base section 224 and magnetically interacts with the magnetic element 23 on the housing part 21 to preload the locking element 22 toward the locked position. Thus, the magnetic element 220, for example in the form of a magnetic armature, interacts in a magnetically attractive manner with the magnetic element 23 on the housing part 21, so that the base section 224 is drawn toward the magnetic element 23, as can be seen, for example, in Fig. 11 E, and thereby the locking element 22 is magnetically held in the locked position shown in Fig. 11 E, unless the locking element 22 is deflected from the locked position by actuation for opening or by interaction with the engagement element 31 during closing.
[0138] The magnetic element 33 is received within the engagement element 31. A further magnetic element 34 is also arranged in a receiving opening within the engagement element 31 and is separated from the magnetic element 33 by a plate element 330, as can be seen in Fig. 11 E. The magnetic element 34, for example in the form of a permanent magnet, serves to interact with a magnetic, for example ferromagnetic, ring element 323 of a holding element 32 connected to the base 30, for example in the form of a band, in order to thus connect ends 320, 321 of the holding element 32 to one another, as can be seen in Fig. 17.
[0139] Thus, to form a loop, the end 321 with an opening 322 formed therein can be attached to the engagement element 31 and a holding section 300 adjoining the shaft 311, wherein an undercut section 301 in the form of a notch is formed on the holding section 300, into which the end 321 with the ring element 323 arranged thereon can be hooked. Due to magnetic interaction between the magnetic element 34 and the ring element 323, the connection is automatically established in a magnetically assisted manner by engagement in the undercut section 301, so that after the loop has been formed, the end 321 of the holding element 32 is held firmly and reliably on the holding section 300 of the base 30.
[0140] 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 can be seen from Fig. 11A to 11E and Fig. 12A to 12E. The magnetic element 23 of the closure part 2 is arranged on the bottom 211 of the housing part 21 in the region of the insertion opening 200, as can be seen from Fig. 11E, so that the magnetic interaction between the magnetic elements 23, 33 magnetically draws the engagement element 31 with its head 310 into engagement with the insertion opening 200. The closure parts 2, 3 thus find each other automatically in a magnetically assisted manner when they approach one another, so that the closing process is magnetically assisted.
[0141] Due to the conical shape of the insertion opening 200, the engaging element 31 with its head 310 is guided into the region of the entrance of the sliding section 201 after insertion into the insertion opening 200, as can be seen from Figs. 12A to 12E. As shown in Figs. 13A to 13E, the head 310 of the engaging element 31 can thus be inserted into the sliding section 201 such that the head 310 engages behind the edge sections 202 and the shaft 311 engages through the slot formed between the edge sections 202, as can be seen from Figs. 13B and 13E.
[0142] To establish the connection, the engagement element 31 is displaced into the displacement section 201 in the displacement direction V. In doing so, the head 310 of the engagement element 31 interacts with the locking section 223 of the locking element 22 projecting into the displacement section 201, wherein the spherical head 310 runs onto a ramp section 225 directed obliquely to the displacement direction V and thus pushes the locking section 223 aside, as can be seen from Figs. 14A to 14E and 15A to 15E. The engagement element 31 is thus moved past the locking section 223 while deflecting the locking element 22 in a tilting direction K1 until the head 310 of the engagement element 31 has passed the locking section 223 and the locking element 22 returns to its locking position in a tilting direction K2 opposite to the tilting direction K1, as can be seen from Figs. 16A to 16E.
[0143] The locking element 22 is returned to the locked position due to the magnetic preload of the locking element 22 caused by the magnetic elements 23, 220. Thus, the magnetic elements 23, 220 attract each other magnetically and, after deflection, return the locking element 22 to the locked position as shown in Fig. 16E.
[0144] In the locked position, the locking portion 223 extends into the sliding portion 201 and thus locks the engagement element 31 in the sliding portion 201. The engagement element 31 is located at one end of the sliding portion 201 and is held there, for example, by the force of gravity. The engagement element 31 cannot be moved out of the sliding portion 201 counter to the direction of displacement V because this is prevented by the locking portion 223 of the locking element 22.
[0145] For this purpose, the locking section 223 has a surface section perpendicular to the displacement direction V on a side facing the engagement element 31 in the holding position according to Fig. 16E, so that the engagement element 31, when it is displaced in the displacement section 201 counter to the displacement direction V in the locking position of the locking element 22, strikes the locking section 223 and thus cannot be moved out of the displacement section 201.
[0146] If a user wishes to open the holding device 1, the user can actuate the locking element 22 via the handle 221 by pushing or pulling on the handle 221, thereby deflecting the locking element 22 in the tilting direction K1. The engagement element 31 is thus unlocked, so that the engagement element 31 is moved out of the sliding section 201 and the holding device 1 can thus be opened to separate the object 5 from the assembly 4.
[0147] As shown in Fig. 17, the user can intuitively open the locking element 22, for example, by using two fingers to act on the handle 221 of the locking element 22 in a direction of movement B1 and simultaneously displacing the engagement element 31 in an opposite direction of movement B2 in the sliding section 201 toward the insertion opening 200, so that the engagement element 31 is moved out of the sliding section 201 and the closure parts 2, 3 can thus be separated from each other. Because the opening can thus be performed with two fingers, the opening movement is simple and comfortable for the user.
[0148] As can be seen from Fig. 11A to 11E in conjunction with Fig. 16A to 16E, the magnetic elements 23, 33 magnetically assist the insertion of the engagement element 31 into the insertion opening 200, so that the closure parts 2, 3 find each other easily during closing. In the holding position according to Fig. 16A to 16E, the magnetic element 33 on the engagement element 31 is displaced transversely along the displacement 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 together due to the positive connection established by the engagement element 31, but not magnetically.
[0149] Because the magnetic elements 23, 33 are brought closer together when opening the holding device 1 against the displacement direction V, the magnetic elements 23, 33 can magnetically assist the opening, in particular the displacement of the engagement element 31 against the displacement direction V in the displacement section 201 in the direction of the insertion opening 200.
[0150] Because the locking element 22 with the locking section 223 is arranged within the sliding section 201, in particular in the region of the entrance of the sliding section 201, a reliable locking effect is achieved between the closure parts 2, 3. Without actuation of the locking element 22, the holding device 1 cannot be opened, so that an unintentional release of the closure parts 2, 3 from one another is reliably prevented.
[0151] Because the locking element 22 is (magnetically) pre-tensioned toward the locking position, the locking action occurs automatically when the closure parts 2, 3 are connected, so that the holding device 1 is securely and reliably locked in the holding position without requiring any special user action. Because the engagement element 31 is spherical, the engagement element 31 can be attached to the closure part 2 in any rotational position and can also be rotated relative to the closure part 2 in any desired direction in the holding position.
[0152] If the shaft 311 has a play within the slot formed between the edge sections 202, the engagement element 31 can also be pivoted in a plane directed perpendicular to the displacement direction V within a certain angular range.
[0153] Fig. 18A-18C show in schematic views the attachment of the engagement element 31 of the second closure part 3 to the first closure part 2 (Fig. 18A), the insertion of the engagement element 31 with the head 310 into the displacement section 201 between the edge sections 202 (Fig. 18B) and the engagement element 31 in an end position corresponding to the holding position in the displacement section 201 (Fig. 18C).
[0154] The displacement section 201 has a length B which corresponds to the length of the displacement path along which the engagement element 31 is to be inserted into the displacement section 201 in the displacement direction V. The length B of the displacement section 201 results, for example, from the length of the path of the engagement element 31 between the position in which the engagement element 31 is inserted into the insertion opening 200, but the head 310 is (just) not yet in overlap with the edge sections 202 (corresponding to the position according to Fig. 18A), and the holding position, corresponding to the end position of the engagement element 31 on the displacement path shown in Fig. 18C.
[0155] The engagement element 31 is inserted into the insertion opening 200 without the edge sections 202 opposing it, so that the engagement element 31 reaches the position shown in Fig. 18A after insertion into the insertion opening 200 and is not yet engaged with the edge sections 202. By displacing the engagement element 31 in the displacement direction V into the displacement section 201, the head 310 of the engagement element 31 overlaps with the edge sections 202, so that the head 310 engages behind the edge sections 202 and thus slides positively along the edge sections 202. In the holding position (Fig. 18C), the engagement element 31 assumes an end position in the displacement section 201, in which the engagement element 31 can no longer be moved in the displacement direction V relative to the edge sections 202.The longitudinal extent of the edge sections 202, measured along the displacement direction V, is greater than the undercut depth A of the head 310, by which the head 310 radially projects beyond the shaft 311. Preferably, the length of the edge sections 202 is several times greater than the undercut depth A, although it is also conceivable and possible for the length B to be only slightly greater than the undercut depth A, so that the displacement path is comparatively short.
[0156] It is conceivable and possible that the sliding section 201 is, for example, wider than long.
[0157] Fig. 19A, 19B to 23A-23H show a further embodiment of a holding device 1 having closure parts 2, 3 which can be attached to one another along a closing direction X to connect the closure parts 2, 3.
[0158] In the illustrated embodiment, the second closure part 3 has a base 30 on which an engagement element 31 is arranged so as to be adjustable along the closing direction X. In a 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.
[0159] From the retracted position, the engagement element 31 can be moved out in the closing direction X to protrude from the base 30 in an operating position such that the head 310 of the engagement element 31 can be inserted into an insertion opening 200 on a housing part 20 of the first closure part 2 and pushed along a displacement direction V into a displacement section 201 formed on the housing part 20.
[0160] Analogous to the previously described embodiment, the first closure part 2 has a magnetic element 23 arranged in the region of the insertion opening 200 on the housing part 20. The second closure part 3 has a magnetic element 33 arranged in the head 310 of the engagement element 31.
[0161] The head 310 is connected to a shaft 311 which has a reduced diameter compared to the head 310, so that the head 310 projects radially with respect to the shaft 311 and thus forms an undercut which, when the engagement element 31 is inserted in the displacement direction V, engages in a displacement section 201 adjoining the insertion opening 200 with edge sections 202 on walls laterally delimiting the displacement section 200 and thereby engages behind the edge sections 202.
[0162] To connect the closure parts 2, 3 to one another, the closure parts 2, 3 are placed against one another along the closing direction X, as shown in Fig. 20A to 20G. Before the closure parts 2, 3 are placed against one another, the engagement element 31 is in the retracted position within the base 30, so that the head 310 of the engagement element 31 does not protrude or at least only slightly protrudes outwards from the base 30.
[0163] As can be seen from the exploded views according to Fig. 19A, 19B and the sectional view according to Fig. 20F, a magnetic element 303 is arranged on a bottom of the receiving opening 302 of the base 30, which magnetically interacts with the magnetic element 33 on the engagement element 31, so that the engagement element 31 is biased into the retracted position and, when the closure part 3 is not connected to the closure part 2, is held in the retracted position.
[0164] When the closure parts 2, 3 are placed against one another, the magnetic elements 23, 33 of the closure parts 2, 3 are brought closer together and interact in a magnetically attractive manner, wherein the magnetic force of attraction between the magnetic elements 23, 33 exceeds the force of attraction between the magnetic element 33 on the engagement element 31 and the magnetic element 303 on the bottom of the receiving opening 302 of the base 30. As can be seen from Figs. 21A to 21H, the engagement element 31 is thus extended from the retracted position and reaches an operating position in which the engagement element 31 protrudes from the base 30 with the head 310.
[0165] 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 drawn into the insertion opening 200 on the housing part 20 of the closure part 2 and reaches the position shown in Fig. 21 A to 21 H. The engagement element 31 thus automatically aligns with the insertion opening 200.
[0166] From the position shown in Fig. 21 A to 21 H, the closure part 3 can now be displaced in the displacement direction V relative to the closure part 2, so that the engagement element 31 with the head 310 is moved into the displacement section 201 and in doing so engages behind the edge sections 202 on the lateral walls of the displacement section 201. The shaft 311 extends between the edge sections 202, so that the closure part 3 is slidably guided on the closure part 2 while engaging behind the edge sections 202 and thus moves relative to the closure part 2 with a positive fit.
[0167] The holding position according to Figs. 23A to 23H is reached as soon as the engagement element 31 has reached an end position in the displacement section 201, in which the engagement element 31 with the head 310 can no longer be moved in the displacement direction V. The closure parts 2, 3 are thus connected and held against one another in a load-bearing manner.
[0168] In the illustrated embodiment, 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 protrudes from a bottom of the sliding section 201, as can be seen, for example, from the exploded view according to Fig. 19B in conjunction with the sectional view according to Fig. 20F.
[0169] The locking element 22 is formed elastically deflectable on the housing part 20 and is formed integrally and in one piece with the housing part 20.
[0170] The locking element 22 has a run-up slope on both sides onto which the engagement element 31 can run.
[0171] Thus, when displaced in the displacement direction V to connect the closure parts 2, 3 to one another, the engagement element 31 runs onto the locking element 22 and elastically pushes it aside, as can be seen from the sectional views according to Figs. 22F and 22G. Once the head 310 of the engagement element 31 has passed the locking element 22, the locking element 22 snaps back into its relaxed starting position, so that the engagement element 31 is locked and thus held in the holding position according to Figs. 23A to 23H in the displacement section 201.
[0172] However, because the locking element 22 also has a run-up slope on the side facing the engagement element 31 in the holding position counter to the displacement direction V, the holding device 1 can be opened counter to the displacement direction V when a force is applied to the closure part 3, without the locking element 22 having to be separately actuated for this purpose. If the force acting on the engagement element 31 exceeds a predetermined limit force, which is determined by the shape of the run-up slope on the locking element 22 and also by the elastic properties of the locking element 22, the engagement element 31 runs with the head 310 onto the locking element 22 and in turn pushes it aside, so that the engagement element 31 can be moved out of the displacement section 201. By applying a force to the engagement element 31, the holding device 1 can thus be opened without the locking element 22 having to be separately actuated.
[0173] Otherwise, the embodiment according to Fig. 19A, 19B to 23A-23H is functionally identical to the embodiment according to Fig. 1-17, so that reference should also be made to the preceding explanations.
[0174] The idea underlying the invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but can also be implemented in other ways.
[0175] A holding device of the type described can be used to connect very different objects to a higher-level assembly. Therefore, the use of the holding device for connecting a tool to a carrying device, for example, a tool belt, is not limiting for the present invention.
[0176] 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 band.
