Description

The present invention relates to a storage, ordering and/or fixation device or a storage and fixation system having the features of independent claim 1.

Special containers or cases in which the objects can be accommodated are suitable for storing smaller objects in bags, rucksacks or folders. However, such additional containers are often a hindrance, since the objects are not freely accessible and, moreover, cannot be stowed away in the space-saving manner that might be desired.

With school pencil cases, it is common to attach pens, erasers and rulers in a clear and orderly manner using rubber bands provided for this purpose. The rubber bands are fixed to bases and form elastically stretchable loops that can be used to hold a wide variety of objects. The loops for attaching erasers are usually wider than the loops in which individual pens can be inserted. However, the size of the individual loops cannot be changed, so that some loops are not suitable for inserting objects of different sizes there. Because they are firmly fixed to the bases, they cannot be adapted to different purposes either.

A wide variety of storage and/or fixation systems are known from the prior art for such and similar purposes.

So reveal both the DE 102 57 778 A1 as well as the U.S. 2013 0 068 919 A1 each describe storage devices having a support bearing a plurality of stretchable straps arranged in different orientations. The straps, which are each detachably attached to the carrier at at least two points, can be arranged in different orientations on the carrier. However, the stretchable bands in both known devices are not variably adjustable or changeable in their length.

the U.S. 2008 0 115 332 A1 shows a fastening device that is intended for insertion into rucksacks, suitcases, briefcases, etc. The fastening device comprises a plurality of belt straps which are each arranged parallel to one another. The belt straps are each sewn to the carrier at least in sections, so that the loose areas formed between sewn-on sections provide receptacles or fixations for objects that can be inserted there and also removed from there again.

A very similar fastening device, which can also be provided for insertion into suitcases, bags, etc., can be found in WO 2010 080 151 A1 disclosed.

With the U.S. 8,002,159 B2 discloses a belt system for fastening or attaching objects, which can thus be worn on the body. The belt system includes a number of elastic straps, each of which provides receptacles for attaching objects such as tools or the like.

From the DE 297 22 521 U1 a tool set assembly is known which provides adjustable and interchangeable tool attachment means. The tool set assembly includes tool mounting plates with bores, elastic bands that are fixed to the tool mounting plates, and a plurality of retaining strips that can engage in the through holes with their respective mushroom-shaped projection for additional fastening. The positions of the elastic bands can be freely selected depending on the geometries of the tools to be held in place by the assembly.

the U.S. 2,950,011 A finally discloses a transport container for receiving a plurality of different objects. The transport container includes, among other things, metal sheets with a large number of bores. Elastic bands can be fastened in these holes, providing holders for various objects. Optionally, the sheets can each be formed by ferromagnetic material.

the U.S. 5,865,233 A finally shows a storage system for smaller purses equipped with elastic bands, which can be used to fix various smaller and flatter objects.

In practice, however, many of these known storage or ordering systems show a not entirely satisfactory flexibility in handling and adaptability to changing tasks, since this is difficult to do given the wide variety of objects that are to be fixed using such systems is to be able to meet the changing requirements under all circumstances.

In view of the shortcomings found in the prior art, it can be regarded as a primary objective of the present invention to provide an improved storage and fixation system for a wide variety of smaller or larger objects which, while being extremely cost-effective to produce high flexibility and quick adaptability to objects of different shapes and sizes to be fixed, whereby this adaptability should be possible with the least possible effort and in a very short time.

This object of the invention is achieved with the subject matter of the independent claim. Features of advantageous developments of the invention can be found in the dependent claims.

Thus, the invention proposes a storage, ordering and/or fixing system for smaller objects or a storage, ordering and/or fixing device for objects with the features of independent claim 1 to achieve the stated objective. This device according to the invention comprises a base plate with a large number of openings and at least one elastic band, both ends of which are equipped with elongated anchor pins with a smaller cross-section than the opening width of the openings. In particular, the device comprises a plurality of elastic straps which are detachably attached to the base plate and can each be used to fix at least one object to the base plate.

In this way, an ordering system is created that can combine several loose objects and fix them to the base plate that serves as an ordering system, and which in this way prevents the objects from falling around as loose individual parts, e.g. in a bag or backpack and only being found there with difficulty and by people a person can be taken.

The at least one elastic band is anchored with its two elongated anchor pins in spaced-apart openings in the base plate, so that the anchor pins of the at least one elastic band are located on a rear side of the base plate, while the elastic band guided through the two spaced-apart openings is on a front side of the base plate and can fix an object on the front side of the base plate under elastic stretching.

In order to achieve this, the anchor pins are each pushed through an opening, which requires that the anchor pins are slightly smaller than the corresponding opening. In this case, the elastic band which is inseparably connected to the anchor pins is located on a surface of the base plate, while the two anchor pins of the associated band that have been pushed through come to rest on the opposite side of the base plate. The elastic band can then be lifted to insert a suitable object there and tighten against the base plate by means of the band. In this way, several elastic bands, each of which is to be detachably connected to the base plate, can be fixed there and, if necessary, repositioned until they are prepared in the desired manner for ordering and fixing several smaller objects.

As an alternative to this or in combination with this variant, the at least one elastic strap can be anchored with its two elongated anchor pins in spaced-apart openings in the base plate, so that the anchor pins of the at least one elastic strap are located on the front side of the base plate, while the The elastic band guided by the two spaced-apart openings runs on the back of the base plate and can fix an object on the back of the base plate with elastic stretching.

In principle, any combination of front or rear anchoring and placement of an elastic band or multiple elastic bands is possible, so that depending on the configuration and depending on the positioning of an elastic band or multiple elastic bands on the front and/or rear of the base plate, various objects can be attached to the base plate Base plate can be fixed, namely on the front and / or back, provided that there is at least one elastic band positioned and thus runs there.

It is also conceivable that an elastic band fixes two or three objects at the same time; normally, however, each elastic band fixes exactly one object to the base plate. Since the articles are of different sizes, straps of different lengths can be used, each preferably having anchor pins of the same size at their respective ends which are firmly fixed to the ends of the strap.

The many openings can preferably be arranged distributed over the base plate at relatively short distances and in a regular grid, so that a large number of suitable positions can be found for different objects at which the elastic bands can be positioned. Short straps normally span only a few consecutive openings, while longer straps can span a larger number of consecutive openings if this is necessary and useful due to a larger or wider object to be fixed.

The openings can, for example, have a circular contour with a reasonable diameter of about two to eight millimeters. Accordingly, the anchor pins of the elastic band corresponding to the apertures can have a cross-section with a minimum diameter of a little less than two millimeters and a maximum diameter of about seven millimeters.

In particular, the circular openings can each have a diameter of about three to five millimeters, particularly preferably about four millimeters. Accordingly, the anchor pins of the elastic band corresponding to the apertures can have a cross-section with a minimum diameter of a little less than three millimeters and a maximum diameter of about four millimeters. Of course, depending on the size of the openings, other useful diameters of the anchor pins are also possible and useful.

Particularly preferably, the circular openings can each have a diameter of approximately four millimeters. Accordingly, the anchor pins of the elastic band that correspond to the openings can have a cross-section with a maximum diameter of about three millimeters.

In addition to the round openings, however, oval, polygonal or differently contoured openings are also possible.

The openings can have different distances from one another. A sensible distance between adjacent openings can be approximately the same as half the diameter of the openings, meaning the distances between edges of adjacent openings that point towards one another. The distance can optionally also correspond to the diameter or be twice or three times the diameter of the openings. With a reasonable diameter of about four millimeters, this distance is about two millimeters (this would correspond to a center distance between adjacent openings of about 6 millimeters), i.e. a material bridge with a width of about two millimeters remains between adjacent openings.

Other distances or grids or divisions of the large number of openings are also possible and can be used in a practical manner.

The anchor pins, which are located at both ends of each elastic strap, can be cylindrical in shape, for example, so that they can easily be passed through the openings in order to attach a strap to the base plate there.

However, anchor pins are also conceivable which are semi-cylindrical in cross-section or at least partially flattened on one side in the direction of longitudinal extent, which facilitates their positioning on the base plate and which allows the anchor pins to rest against the base plate with their flat sides.

The anchor pins can, for example, have a reasonable length of about 10 to 20 mm, in particular about 12 to 17 mm, particularly preferably about 15 mm.

Optionally, these can be metallic anchor pins or also anchor pins made of plastic, wood, a composite material, etc.

At this point, it should be pointed out as a precaution that in the present description the term anchor pins, which is to be understood functionally, is used almost throughout, with such an anchor pin being located at the end of each band by definition. These anchor pins can be, for example, conventional metal pins or metal cotter pins, such as those used in bookbinding. These metal splints are sometimes also referred to as T-splints, without having to mean a different object. If anchor pins or pins are mentioned at any point in the present description or in the claims, metal splints or T-splints can in principle also be meant, without this being specifically pointed out in each case.

The at least one elastic band or elastic bands can each be formed by fabric bands with incorporated rubber bands, at the ends of which the anchor pins can be pressed.

A useful width of the bands can be, for example, two millimeters or more, in particular about five to eight millimeters, these dimensions being only to be understood as examples, since other widths or dimensions can also lead to useful devices.

The base plate can be, for example, a metal sheet with openings spaced apart from one another, with around four openings per square centimeter being able to be present. Other dimensions are also possible, which can result in correspondingly different fastening distances for the different positions for the elastic bands.

The openings can, for example, be in a regular rectangular arrangement or in be incorporated into the base plate in a diagonal arrangement.

Optionally, the base plate can also be made of plastic, in which case, in the same way as already mentioned above, there can be a large number of openings spaced apart from one another, with around four openings per square centimeter being able to be present.

The base plate can, for example, have a thickness of about 0.5 to four millimeters, in particular in the order of about one to two millimeters, with a material thickness of at least one millimeter, preferably a little more than one millimeter, having proven to be particularly practicable and advantageous . Other thicknesses of the base plate can also be useful, these being based both on the material used in each case and thus its flexural rigidity and on the respective size of the base plate. A relatively large base plate should generally require greater rigidity and therefore a slightly greater material thickness than a smaller plate.

The size, i.e. the outline of the base plate can vary and can be, for example, about six by eight centimeters or slightly larger. Almost any other sizes are also conceivable, which can be, for example, up to 30 by 30 centimeters or larger. The size of the base plate basically depends on the desired application and can therefore vary within wide limits.

Reasonable sizes of the base plates can be based on common sizes in the office area, since many folders are A4 or A5 sized, for example. With a folder that is approximately A4-sized (approx. 21 x 30 cm), it can make sense to provide a corresponding size of board. The same applies in principle to an A5 folder, which can result in a board size of around 15 x 20 centimetres. Common sizes of portable computers or tablets can also serve as a guide for the sizes of the base plate, so that a size specified by such a laptop computer or by a tablet can also serve as a guide or as a meaningful measure for the base plate in order to find the desired Fix objects with elastic bands.

In the manner described, a plurality of elastic bands can be positioned as desired on the base plate, with a large number of elastic bands being able to be arranged at different distances or also close to one another. The elastic bands can optionally have the same or different lengths.

Under certain circumstances, it can also make sense if short sections of individual strips overlap or cross, but such an arrangement will usually hardly be found, which is due to the fastening situation of different objects that should be placed next to each other at minimum distances on the base plate and should not be (partially) positioned on top of each other. However, this does not rule out the possibility that an arrangement of individual bands that cross over in short sections can be useful in individual cases, in particular in the case of objects packed very tightly on the base plate.

As mentioned above, the straps can be guided on the front and/or on the back, since the anchor pins (or T-splints or metal splints) can be pushed through the openings from either side, which means that almost any object can be attached to the front and/or at the rear, unless they are significantly larger than the base plate itself.

The objects can be, for example, pens, batteries, cables, smaller battery packs, electronic devices or almost any other solid or deformable objects or small parts that can be positioned and fixed in a variable manner on the base plate.

The objects can also be, for example, a wide variety of small tools or workpieces such as screws, bolts, clamps, etc., which can be positioned and fixed in variable ways on the base plate.

In addition, reference should be made at this point to an alternative design variant of the base plate or to an alternatively designed base plate. So this can have a reinforced circumferential outer edge area. In particular, in this alternative variant it can be provided that the edge of the base plate, which in particular runs all the way around, is reinforced and/or thickened compared to the flat area enclosed by it with the openings arranged therein.

If we are talking about reinforcement at this point, this can be, for example, a stabilized area with an additional metal insert, fiber reinforcement or the like. If a reinforced area is mentioned, however, this can also be a pure thickening, i.e. a material reinforcement with a material that is, for example, 50% stronger than in the actual functional area, which is characterized by the openings.

The reinforced peripheral edge can have a thickness of two, preferably about three to five millimeters and a width of also about three to five millimeters. The inner flat area with the openings arranged therein normally does not differ in its contour or thickness from the previously mentioned design or from the previously mentioned design variants, so that a thickness of about one millimeter can be useful here again. However, the inner flat area with the openings arranged therein can also be made thinner without any problems due to the reinforced edge being a sensible option and, for example, have a sensible and practical thickness of about half a millimeter.

In addition, it should be pointed out in this connection that the thickness of the edge area and/or its width can or should be adapted to the material and/or the overall size of the base plate, as has already been explained above. In this way it can be ensured that the base plate is neither too solid nor too heavy, nor that it becomes too unstable or too flexible and is restricted in terms of its functionality and/or its usefulness.

A further alternative option can provide an additional measure against slipping of the objects fixed or clamped on the front and/or on the back. Such a measure can be implemented, for example, by anti-slip coatings on the front and/or rear, which in particular can bring about reliable positioning of the objects fastened on the front and/or on the rear of the base plate. These optional non-slip or anti-slip coatings can have a defined roughness and, for example, a granular surface structure, so that a significant increase in the mutually effective surface friction can be achieved in connection with the objects stretched against the base plate by the elastic straps.

Identical reference symbols are used for elements of the invention that are the same or have the same effect. Furthermore, for the sake of clarity, only reference symbols are shown in the individual figures that are necessary for the description of the respective figure. The illustrated embodiments only represent examples of how the invention can be designed and do not represent any final limitation. The features described below are also not to be understood in close connection with further features of the respective exemplary embodiment, but can each be provided in a general connection or .

The schematic perspective views of the 1A as well as the 1B show an execution Variant of a base plate 10 and an elastic band 12, which together form a storage, ordering and/or fixing device 14 according to the invention for objects fixed by means of the bands 12 (cf. 2 B and 2C ) form. Like it the 1A , 1B , 1C and 1D can be seen, the base plate 10 is equipped with a plurality of openings 16 in the form of round holes 18, which are each arranged at relatively small distances from one another and distributed over the base plate 10 in a regular grid.

Like it the 1A until 1D can also be seen that the openings 16 or holes 18 can each have circular contours with diameters of about four millimeters, with adjacent holes 18 or openings 16 each having a distance of about two to four millimeters, but preferably about two millimeters, with this the distances between mutually facing edges of adjacent openings 16 are meant.

the 1A also reveals an elastic band 12 which forms an essential part of the storage, ordering and/or fixing device 14 according to the invention. At both ends of an elongate and longitudinally elastic band section 20 there are elongate and intrinsically rigid anchor pins 22, which, however, have flexible connections to the band ends, so that an anchor pin 22 of an elastic band 12 can be positioned in the position shown in 1B shown, can be pushed through one of the holes 18, the two anchor pins 22 of the strap 12 thus connected to the base plate 10 being pushed into spaced-apart holes 18, which preferably are not immediately adjacent holes 18.

As has already been explained above to make it clear, the anchor pins 22 so referred to here can in particular be so-called metal splints or T-splints, such as can be found in bookbinding supplies.

The anchor pins 22 of the elastic band 12 corresponding to the openings 16 or holes 18 can thus have a useful cross section with a diameter of slightly less than the hole diameter. Accordingly, the anchor pins 22 of the elastic band 12 corresponding to the openings 16 can have a cross-section with a diameter of slightly less than four millimeters, in particular approximately three millimeters, so that they can easily be pushed through the openings 16 or holes 18.

As the schematic perspective view of the 1B can be seen, each of the existing elastic bands 12 can be pushed with its two elongated anchor pins 22 through spaced openings 16 in the base plate 10, so that the band 12 is anchored there in such a way that the anchor pins 22 of the elastic band 12 a rear side 24 of the base plate 10, while the elastic strap section 20 of the strap 12, which is guided through the two spaced openings 16, is located on a front side 26 of the base plate 10 and runs between the relevant holes 18 with the pins 22 anchored therein. In this way, the elastic band section 20 can be stretched elastically in the longitudinal direction and in this way fix an object of suitable size on the front side 26 and/or on the back side 24 of the base plate 10, as is exemplified in FIG 2 B and in 2C is shown.

The schematic perspective view of the 1B shows a view of the front side 26 of the base plate 10 with the elastic band section 20 of the elastic band 12 running there, the two anchor pins 22 of which are located on the rear side 24 of the base plate 10 (not visible here) and are therefore drawn with broken lines.

The further schematic perspective view of 1C shows a view of the rear side 24 of the base plate 10 with the anchor pins 22 of the elastic band 12 arranged there, the elastic band section 20 running on the front side 26 of the base plate 10 (not visible here) and is therefore drawn with broken lines.

As the schematic detailed view of a section of the base plate 10 of 1D indicates, in alternative configurations almost any combination of the front or rear anchoring and placement of multiple elastic bands 12 can be selected, so that depending on the configuration and depending on the positioning of an elastic band 12 or multiple elastic bands 12 on the front 26 and / or back 24 of the base plate 10 different objects can be fixed to the base plate 10.

This is how it shows 1D for example, in the upper area, a shorter elastic band 12 with anchor pins 22 lying close together, which are located here on the visible front side 26 of the base plate 10. A slightly longer elastic band 12 is located on the right side of the front face 26 of the base plate 10, with the anchor pins 22 are located on the rear side 24 of the base plate 10, which is not visible here.

A significantly longer elastic band 12 is also located in the left area of the front side 26 of the base plate 10, which in this case is not yet anchored to the base plate 10 but is placed on the front side 26 thereof. In this longer elastic band 12 it can be seen that one of its anchor pins 22 is partially pushed through an opening 16, while the other anchor pin 22 (here the one lying further down) lies across several openings 16 on the front side 26 of the base plate 10.

As is the schematic views of the 1A until 1D can be recognized as an example, the anchor pins 22, which are located at both ends of each elastic band 12, for example. Cylindrical with rounded or hemispherical ends be shaped so that they can easily be passed through the openings 16 to there a band 12 to attach the base plate 10.

However, anchor pins 22 are also conceivable, which are semi-cylindrical in cross section or are at least partially flattened on one side in the direction of longitudinal extent, which can facilitate their positioning on the base plate 10, and as a result of which the anchor pins 22 can rest against the base plate 10 with their flat sides.

So shows about the 1E an alternative embodiment variant of a hole 18 flattened on one side, which has an opening 16 of a storage, ordering and/or fixing device 14 according to the invention 1A until 1D forms, and for receiving a correspondingly flattened anchor pin 22a of an elastic band 12 (in 1E not shown) is provided.

As the greatly enlarged top view of the 1E clarified, the opening 16 shown does not have a circular hole 18, but a hole 18a flattened on one side, which thus has a smaller cross section than a comparable hole 18 (cf. 1A until 1D ) with the same center and hole radius would be the case. Consequently, this hole 18a, which is flattened on one side, is also not able to accommodate a fully cylindrical anchor pin 22 with a comparable diameter, since this could not be pushed through the hole 18a, which is flattened on one side. Thus, the anchor pin 22 is also flattened on one side in the same way, which is illustrated by the one-sided flattening 22a in the cross section of the anchor pin 22 shown, which corresponds to the flattening of the correspondingly shaped hole 18a.

The flattenings 18a and 22a shown on the hole 18 of the opening 16 in the base plate 10 or on the anchor pin 22 can thus be regarded as the implementation of a "lock and key principle".

Alternatively, the in 1E Perforations 16 or holes 18a shown as examples each have a diameter of about four millimeters, with adjacent holes 18a typically also being able to have distances of about two to four millimeters, the distances between mutually facing edges of adjacent perforations 16 being meant.

The anchor pins 22 can, for example, have a useful length of approximately 10 to 20 mm, in particular approximately 12 to 17 mm, particularly preferably approximately 15 mm. It can optionally be metallic anchor pins 22 or anchor pins 22 made of plastic, wood, a composite material, etc.

The elastic bands 12 can each be formed by fabric bands with incorporated rubber bands, at the ends of which the anchor pins 22 can be pressed.

The base plate 10 can be, for example, a sheet metal or a plastic plate with openings 16 spaced apart from one another, with around four openings 16 per square centimeter being able to be present. Other dimensions are also possible, as a result of which other fastening distances of the different positions for the elastic bands 12 can result.

The openings 16 can, for example, be in a regular rectangular arrangement (cf. 1A , 1B and 1C ) or also in a diagonal arrangement (cf. 1D ) be incorporated into the base plate 10.

The base plate 10 can, for example, have a thickness of about 0.5 to about 4 mm, in particular about 1 to 2 mm, with a material thickness of at least 1 mm, preferably a little more than 1 mm, being particularly useful. However, these material thicknesses are only to be understood as examples; in practice, the thicknesses of the base plate 10 are based both on the material used in each case and thus on its flexural rigidity and on the respective size of the base plate 10 . A relatively large base plate 10 should generally require greater rigidity and thus a slightly greater material thickness than a smaller base plate 10.

The size of the base plate 10 can vary and can be, for example, about six by eight centimeters. Almost any other sizes are also conceivable, which can be, for example, approx. 20 x 30 or even 30 x 30 centimeters or larger.

Clues for sensible sizes of the base plates 10 can be derived from common sizes in the office sector, since many folders or smaller bags are, for example, A4 or A5 sized. With a folder that is approximately A4-sized (approx. 21 x 30 cm), it can make sense to provide a corresponding size of board. The same basically applies to an A5 folder, which can lead to a size of the base plate 10 of about 15×20 centimeters. Common sizes of portable computers or tablets can also serve as reference points for the sizes of the base plate 10, so that such a tablet or such a laptop computer can provide a sensible size specification for the outline of the base plate 10. One of the reasons for this is the appropriately dimensioned pockets, which can therefore not only accommodate a tablet or a laptop computer, but also a correspondingly dimensioned base plate 10.

The schematic detail view of the 1F shows an edge area of an alternatively designed base plate 10, the edge 11 of which, in particular, runs all the way round and is reinforced compared to the flat area enclosed by it with the openings 16 arranged therein. The reinforced peripheral edge 11 can have a thickness of two, preferably about three to five millimeters and a width of also about three to five millimeters. The inner flat area with the openings 16 arranged therein does not normally have to differ in its contour or strength from those in the 1A until 1D shown variants differ, so that here again a thickness of about one millimeter can be useful. However, the inner flat area with the openings 16 arranged therein can also be made thinner without any problems due to the reinforced edge 11 and, for example, can have a sensible and practical thickness of about half a millimeter.

Of course, the thickness can be adapted to the material and/or the overall size of the base plate 10, as has already been explained above. In this way, the base plate 10 does not become too massive and too heavy, nor does it become too unstable or too flexible.

Another alternative option is also in the schematic detail view of the 1F indicated, namely anti-slip coatings 19 on the front and/or rear, which in particular ensure reliable positioning of the objects 28 fastened on the front 26 and/or rear 24 of the base plate 10 (cf. in particular the 2 B and 2C ) can cause. These optional non-slip or anti-slip coatings can have a defined roughness and, for example, a granular surface structure, so that in connection with the objects stretched against the base plate 10 by the elastic straps 12, a significant increase in the mutually effective surface friction can be achieved.

Like it the 2A can be seen, several elastic bands 12 can be placed in different positions on the base plate 10, in the embodiment shown about six bands 12 of different lengths in different positions. In the embodiment shown 2A the total of six elastic straps 12 of different lengths are connected to the base plate 10 in such a way that the anchor pins 22 are each arranged on the rear side 24 (not visible here), while the elastic strap sections 20 each run over the front side 26 of the base plate 10.

In this way, then according to 2 B different objects 28 are pushed under the stretched elastic band section 20, such as a small electronic device 30 (top right), a USB memory 32 (bottom center) or two pens 34 (left).

The schematic view of 2C shows the device 14 according to FIG 2 B from the other side, which makes it clear that this is equipped on both flat sides of the base plate 10 with different objects. That’s how they explain 2 B and 2C in summary that the bands 12 according to 2C can optionally also be guided on the front side 26 and on the back side 24 of the base plate 10 since the anchor pins 22 can be pushed through the openings 16 from either side as desired. This means that any objects 28 can be attached to the front 26 and to the rear 24 (cf 2 B) of the base plate 10 are positioned.

In this way, for example 2C sliding different objects 28 under the stretched elastic band sections 20 at the front 26 and/or at the back 24 . This can be, for example, a multiple folded connection cable 36 (right), a so-called power bank 38, differently shaped and/or dimensioned small parts 40 (top left), etc.

the 2C also leaves an anchor pin 22 of a strap section 20 guided on the rear side 24 at the lower edge of the base plate 10 recognize, which means that the attachment of further objects 28 to the not visible here, but in 2 B already shown back 24 of the base plate 10 is indicated.

Optionally, the objects 28 attached to the base plate 10 can also be a wide variety of small tools or workpieces such as screws, bolts, clamps, etc., which can be positioned and fixed in a variable manner on the base plate 10, whereby in cooperation with the elastic Bands 12 the storage, order and / or fixation system 14 according to the invention or the inventive storage, order and / or fixation device 14 is formed.

The invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment. However, it will be apparent to a person skilled in the art that modifications or variations can be made to the invention without departing from the scope of the following claims.
