The first and second connecting element 12 . 14 are arranged opposite each other. The first connecting element connects a first leg 16 with a second leg 18 , By the U-shaped design of the first connecting element 12 are the first and the second leg 16 . 18 in a closed position of the belt clip 10 arranged parallel to each other. The two large sides of the first and second thigh 16 . 18 are referred to in the following description as outside or inside. The outer sides are defined here as the sides which are remote from the respective other leg. Accordingly, the inner sides are defined as the sides facing the other leg respectively. As in 1 can be seen, is the first and the second leg 16 . 18 straight, so that both the outer sides as well as the inner sides form planes.

The second connection element 14 the belt clip 10 connects the second leg 18 with a third leg 20 , Also the second connecting element 14 is U-shaped.

1 further shows that in a portion of the first leg 16 a first inhibiting or deflecting element 22 is trained. The first inhibiting or deflecting element 22 is formed in particular in a partial area in which the first leg 16 and the third leg 20 overlap.

The first inhibiting or deflecting element 22 has a V-shaped curvature. Here, the conditional by the V-shaped tip of the first inhibiting or deflecting element 22 in the direction of the third leg 20 or second leg 18 directed.

The third leg 20 additionally has a second inhibiting or deflecting element 24 on. Also the second inhibiting or deflecting element 24 is through a portion of the third leg 20 formed, in particular by the with the first leg 16 overlapping portion arranged. The second inhibiting or deflecting element 24 is also V-shaped. The two side walls of the second inhibiting or deflecting element 24 have different configurations. The second connecting element 14 facing side wall of the second inhibiting or deflecting element 24 has a constant strength. The second connecting element 14 opposite side wall of the second inhibiting or deflecting element 24 is beveled. This wedge-shaped configuration leads to a reduced number of edges and corners in the interior of the belt clip 10 ,
