Description

The invention relates to a holding system for a plurality of vessels, in particular flower pots. Furthermore, the invention relates to a kit for such a holding system.

Instead of placing a flower pot on a windowsill, there is also the possibility in principle of hanging the flower pot from the ceiling of a room. For this purpose, for example, a hook is screwed into the ceiling and the flower pot then suspended starting therefrom by means of a rope or a chain. Such a construction can save space.

An object of the invention is therefore to provide an improved holding system which is intended to hold a plurality of vessels, in particular flowerpots. Furthermore, a kit for such a holding system should be specified.

The object is achieved by a holding system with the features of claim 1 and by a kit with the features of claim 13 advantageous embodiments, developments and variants are the subject of the dependent claims. The statements in connection with the holding system apply mutatis mutandis to the kit and vice versa.

The holding system serves to hold several vessels. Preferably, the vessels are each designed as a flowerpot, thus each serve to accommodate plants. Also suitable as vessels are baskets, bowls, plates, vases and the like. Particularly preferred is an embodiment in which the holding system is designed to hold exactly two vessels. The vessels are preferably similar, but this is not mandatory, but the vessels can basically be different. For holding the vessels, the holding system has at least two holders, in particular a holder for each of the vessels. Furthermore, the holding system on a rope, which connects the two brackets together. In the present case, "rope" is understood to mean, in particular, an elongated strand. The rope is particularly flexible. The rope is in particular limp. The rope consists for example of a plastic, of a metal or of a textile material or a combination thereof. The rope has, in particular, a circular cross-section, but other cross-sections or even a band-like configuration are basically also suitable. In particular, the rope is not a cable, i. The rope is not used to transmit a current. Rather, the rope has only one mechanical function, namely the connection of the two brackets. The rope preferably has a rope length in the range of 1 m to 5 m.

Furthermore, the holding system has two deflecting elements. About the deflection of the rope is guided by the one of the two brackets to the other of the two brackets. By this is meant in particular that the rope has two ends and at each of the two ends a holder is attached. The two deflection elements are thus viewed along the rope between the two brackets. As a result of this arrangement, the two holders, in the manner of a scale, each depend on one of the deflection elements. The holding system is therefore also referred to as a flower scale. In a suitable embodiment, the cable then extends from the one holder in the vertical direction upwards, is deflected laterally by one of the deflecting elements and in particular in the horizontal direction, runs towards the other deflecting element and is deflected by the latter back downwards in the vertical direction, where then the other bracket is arranged. By the two deflecting elements, the two brackets are on the one hand in the horizontal direction spaced from each other, so that these and the held vessels advantageously not abut each other. On the other hand, the two holders are arranged by the deflecting elements in the vertical direction in a defined manner relative to each other, for example at the same height.

The rope is also guided movably over the two deflection elements, i. The rope is basically movable relative to the two deflecting elements and not attached to them. By pulling on one end of the rope this can then be withdrawn through the deflection. In this way, the two brackets are height adjustable relative to each other. By pulling down or vice versa pushing up the height of a bracket can be set arbitrarily. Due to the connection with the other holder via the rope, the height of the other holder is correspondingly changed vice versa. As a result, a total height adjustment is realized.

The aforementioned embodiment results in an unequal weight load of the two holders inherently to the heavier of the two brackets decreases accordingly and pulls the lighter holder thereby up and this holder or the vessel or a plant therein then to one of the deflecting elements and optionally to a Mounting surface on which the holding system is mounted, strikes. An unequal weight load results for example from the fact that differently heavy vessels are inserted into the two brackets, or that the two vessels in turn different content content, such as different sized plants. Especially in the case of plants, there is also a risk during casting that the weight on one side changes relative to the weight on the other side.

In order to avoid an unwanted adjustment in the vertical direction, ie an adjustment of the height or the vertical position of the two brackets, the holding system has a stop element, which at an unequal weight load of the two brackets an up or down movement of the brackets due to this weight load limited. Thus, an impact of the lighter holder, the vessel therein or the contents of this vessel is advantageously avoided at one of the deflection or on a mounting surface. In addition, a once set relative position of the two brackets to each other is maintained despite different weights advantageous. The height adjustment is thus limited by the stop element. The two brackets are thus not completely height adjustable just because the stopper prevents height adjustment beyond a certain maximum height difference addition. In other words: by the stop element, a maximum height difference is predetermined, which is adjustable between the two brackets. Without the stop element and without limitation of the height adjustability, there would be a risk that the holder or a vessel or a plant would abut against another obstacle to the movement and thus be damaged. This is also advantageously prevented by the stop element.

A particular advantage of the invention thus consists in particular in the fact that a plurality of vessels are held in a simple manner by means of common deflecting elements and that due to the stop element during assembly of the holding system any positioning of the two holders can be adjusted to one another and can be safely retained in the assembled state. When inserting vessels in the brackets need not be taken to ensure that they have the same weight as possible, but it can also act different weight loads on the brackets, without adjusting the holding system. An unwanted adjustment of the brackets by different weight developments of the two brackets over time, for example by plant growth or by casting, is advantageously prevented.

Preferably, the stop element is attached to the rope, i. in particular fastened, and limits the up or down movement in that the stop member abuts when pulling or pushing the cable to the deflecting element and thereby prevents another extract. By "pulling or pushing", in particular, a pulling or pushing load, i. a pulling or pushing force, understood in the direction of the rope, i. especially in the longitudinal direction of the rope. In a movement or promotion of the rope on the deflecting element thus proposes the stop element after a certain rope length to the deflecting element and blocks further movement in the same direction. The stop element thus forms a mechanical stop together with the deflecting element. However, reverse movement is preferably possible so that the original position can be restored.

In a preferred embodiment, the stop element is mounted along the rope between the two deflecting elements. In this embodiment, the height adjustment is then advantageously limited in both directions. When dragging on one side, i. in particular on the one bracket, the stop element then strikes the one deflecting element, while pulling on the other side corresponding to the other deflecting element. As a result, a two-sided limitation of the height adjustment is realized by means of a single stop element. The maximum height difference corresponds to the principle of the distance between the two deflecting elements. By appropriate installation of the two deflecting elements at a certain distance from one another, the maximum height difference between the two holders can thus likewise be set.

Conceivable and also suitable is a design with several stop elements, for example, a variant in which two stop elements between the two deflecting elements are arranged so that the height adjustment is limited to a maximum height difference, which is less than the distance between the two deflecting elements. Alternatively or additionally, two stop elements are arranged on different sides of one of the two deflection elements, so that when pulling on one side abuts a stop element on the deflection and strikes when pulling on the other side corresponding to the other stop element on the other side of the same deflection. In this way, a limitation of the maximum height difference is independent of the distance between the deflection adjustable.

Preferably, the stop member is releasably secured to the cable, ie the stop member can be removed as needed and again and secured, for example, at a different position along the rope. In a preferred embodiment, the stop element is fixed by means of a fixing element, for example a screw, but is also suitable as a jamming or a Design as a clamping part. It is essential that the stop element is attached to the rope in such a way that the stop element does not move along the rope when it hits one of the deflection elements. Due to the releasable attachment, the stop element is then in particular during assembly of the holding system arbitrarily positioned along the rope by the stopper is first released, then moved or displaced and then fixed again.

In a particularly suitable embodiment, the stop element is designed as a ring which can be pushed onto the rope during assembly of the holding system via one end of the rope and can be fastened at any point along the rope by means of a fixing element. The stop element then surrounds the rope in a ring shape and completely revolves around it. In a suitable embodiment, the fixing element is a grub screw, which is seated in a through hole in the ring and is adjustable perpendicular to the cable, for example by means of a tool.

Preferably, the stop element measured in the direction of the rope has a length in the range of 5 mm to 20 mm. Preferably, the stop member measured in the direction perpendicular to the rope has a width which is at least 1.5 times a thickness of the rope and at most 3 times the thickness of the rope. Preferably, the width is in the range of 5 mm to 20 mm.

The two deflection elements are preferably each for mounting on a mounting surface, e.g. a ceiling of a room, i. a ceiling, a wall, a cross member or the like. The holding system thus depends on the mounting surface, so that the brackets and possibly inserted therein vessels hang down accordingly. For mounting, the deflecting elements each have, in particular, one or more mounting holes, through which corresponding fastening means can be guided into the mounting surface. In the assembled state, therefore, the deflecting elements are attached to the mounting surface and thus form two fixed points of the holding system. By contrast, all other individual parts and components of the holding system are in particular movable with respect to the mounting surface. Suitable fastening means are, for example screws, which are fastened in each case via a dowel in the mounting surface.

Particularly useful is an embodiment in which the deflecting elements are each formed as a deflection roller. A deflection roller is characterized in particular by a roller holder, on which a roller is mounted. Preferably, the roller is rotatably mounted on the roller holder, but in principle is also a variant in which the roller is fixedly mounted on the roller holder. The holder is used in particular for mounting the holding system on a mounting surface as described above, the role of guiding the rope. In a conventional arrangement, the two deflection elements are mounted at the same height, in particular when mounted on a ceiling, so that the rope between the two deflection horizontally passes through the two rollers on the two sides is deflected by 90 ° down. However, the deflecting elements do not necessarily have to be mounted at the same height, so that in principle the holding system can also be mounted on a bevel, in which case the cable runs correspondingly obliquely between the deflecting elements.

In general, the stop element preferably forms a thickening on the cable which does not fit through a guide contour of the deflecting element. In a particularly expedient embodiment, at least one of the deflecting elements has a guide groove for the cable, with a clearance which is smaller than a thickness of the stopper element, so that it can not pass the deflecting element. Preferably, both deflecting elements are formed in this way. The thickness and the clear width are measured in particular perpendicular to the rope.

A respective holder expediently has a retaining ring in which a vessel can be inserted. The vessel then expediently has a downwardly tapered shape and can be inserted from above into the retaining ring. The retaining ring then has an inner diameter which is smaller than a maximum outer diameter of the vessel, so that it sits in the retaining ring and does not slip through it. The retaining ring is then connected to the rope via a plurality of connecting strands, wherein a respective connecting strand runs from the retaining ring onto the cable. Preferred is an embodiment with three connecting strands, which are distributed uniformly in the circumferential direction of the retaining ring. The connecting strands then run starting from the retaining ring in particular conically towards the rope and are attached to this. The connecting strands are each preferably formed as a rope, as well as the rope of the holding system itself. Alternatively, the strands are formed as chains or as rigid rods or rods. In a further variant, the connecting strands are each a part of the rope which, for example, is divided into the connecting strands at the ends. The connecting strands are preferably formed separately with respect to the retaining ring and secured thereto, alternatively, the connecting strands are parts of the retaining ring and made in one piece with this.

In a suitable embodiment, the retaining ring for attaching the connecting strands each have a retaining hole which is open towards the interior of the retaining ring and into which a respective connecting strand can be inserted laterally. The connecting strands are thus formed as separate parts and are connected during assembly of the holding system with the retaining ring. The connecting strands are formed, for example, thickened end, so each have an end-side thickening, for example by means of a node, so that the retaining ring rests in the assembled state corresponding to the ends of the connecting strands. Due to the retaining holes that are open inwards, the connecting strands can then be inserted laterally into the retaining holes, in spite of the end-side thickening. Also suitable is an embodiment in which a thickening in the manner of the already described stubble is attached end to end on a respective connecting strand.

The retaining holes in the retaining ring further have the special advantage that the retaining ring is thereby formed elastically resilient. The retaining ring generally has an outer contour and an inner contour whose distance from one another define a ring width of the retaining ring. The inwardly open holding holes are now formed in a preferred embodiment such that the ring width at those points at which the holding holes are arranged, is reduced, so that there is an increased deformability of the retaining ring at these points. In the area of the retaining holes, the ring width is preferably reduced by at least 40% and at most 80%. As a result, the retaining ring is divided into a plurality of preferably arcuate segments, which are resiliently connected to each other at the retaining holes, so that a vessel with an outer contour which does not exactly match the inner contour of the retaining ring can be used safely and easily removed again. In a suitable embodiment, the inner contour of the retaining ring is formed generally circular and deviates only at the retaining holes of the circular shape by the retaining holes in each case form a bulge in the retaining ring into it. The outer contour is likewise circular in a suitable embodiment and, in one variant, has additional expansions in the region of the retaining holes, so that a polygonal outer contour, in particular with rounded corners and bulged sides, results depending on the number of retaining holes.

A respective holder advantageously has a connecting piece for connecting the connecting strands to the cable. The connector thus serves on the one hand the connection of the connecting strands and on the other hand the connection of the rope. The connector is preferably formed in one piece, so only a single and no composite component. The connecting piece is preferably designed in the shape of a rotor or cloverleaf and has a center, from which a plurality of arms extend. The center is thus arranged in the middle and the arms point outwards. In the center, a central through hole is arranged for attaching the fitting to the rope. The cable is then guided in the mounted state through the through hole and knotted, for example, with the connector or has a thickening in particular as described above in connection with the connecting strands, wherein the thickening is thicker than the through hole, so that the connector is seated on the thickening. In each case a lateral through hole is arranged in the arms of the connecting piece, for attaching one of the connecting strands, in particular in a similar manner as described for the rope. The fitting thus acts as an overall adapter between the rope and the connecting strands. In a suitable embodiment, the connector is as it were attached to one end of the rope and the connecting strands are in turn attached to the connector. Conceivable and suitable is also an embodiment in which the connecting strands are each subsections of the rope, which is then guided alternately through the various through holes of the connector and the retaining holes of the retaining ring, so that all through holes and retaining holes are successively traversed by the rope.

In the connector, the lateral through-holes and the central through-hole are preferably arranged in a common plane, and the connector is generally flat. In a suitable embodiment, the connection piece has a thickness between 1 mm and 5 mm. In a suitable embodiment, the connection piece has a width between 10 mm and 50 mm.

Alternatively or additionally, the retaining ring is expediently flat, i. significantly wider than high. In a suitable embodiment, the retaining ring has a thickness between 1 mm and 5 mm. In a suitable embodiment, the retaining ring has a width between 5 cm and 50 cm.

The retaining ring, the connector and the connecting strands are made for example of plastic or metal. In particular, the retaining ring or the connecting piece or both are suitably manufactured as a plastic injection-molded part or as a stamped part.

The concepts described with respect to the retaining ring and the fitting are also independently usable and advantageous. In particular, the connector is also used independently of the retaining ring.

In the foregoing, the retention system has been described primarily in a mounted state, i. in a state in which a plurality of items are assembled to the holding system. Due to the great variability of the holding system this is provided in a preferred embodiment as a kit comprising a plurality of individual parts, namely at least two brackets, a cable, two deflecting elements and a stop element as described above. The kit includes these items in an unmounted condition. The items are then mounted such that in an assembled state, the rope is guided by the one of the two brackets to the other of the two brackets, so that the brackets depend in the manner of a scale in each case by one of the deflection and height adjustable, and that the stop element an uneven weight load of the two brackets limited an up or down movement of the brackets. The rope is preferably provided in excess length and cut to length, so that during assembly the rope length is adjustable as needed. By mounting the kit is transferred from an unmounted state to the assembled state.

In an expedient development of the kit for the holding system further comprises a tool, which in particular the attachment of the stubble on the rope. Of particular advantage is an embodiment in which the retaining ring or the connecting piece and preferably both are flat as described above, so that there is a particularly small and particularly flat packing volume for the kit.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to a drawing. In each case schematically show:

• 1 a holding system in a perspective view,
• 2 a first section of the holding system,
• 3 a stop element for the holding system,
• 4 a deflecting element of the holding system in an exploded view,
• 5 a second section of the holding system,
• 6 a retaining ring of the retaining system,
• 7 a connection piece of the holding system.

In 1 is a holding system 2 shown schematically in a perspective view. The holding system 2 serves to hold several, here two vessels 4 , Present are the vessels 4 each formed as a flowerpot, thus each serve to accommodate plants not shown in detail. To hold one of the vessels 4 has the holding system 2 at least two mounts 6 on, namely in each case a holder 6 for each of the vessels 4 , Furthermore, the holding system 2 a rope 8th on which the two brackets 6 connects with each other. The rope 8th is in 1 an elongated strand and flexible as well as limp. The rope 8th has only one mechanical function, namely the connection of the two brackets 6 ,

Next, the holding system 2 two deflecting elements 10 on. About the deflecting elements 10 is the rope 8th from one of the two mounts 6 to the other of the two brackets 6 guided. The rope 8th has two ends and at each of the two ends is a holder 6 attached so that the two deflectors 10 So along the rope 8th considered between the two brackets 6 are located. As in 1 recognizable, hang the two brackets 6 in the manner of a balance in each case by one of the deflection elements 10 down. The holding system 2 is therefore also referred to as a flower scale. Overall, the rope extends 8th first of the one bracket 6 vertically upwards, passing through one of the deflecting elements 10 deflected laterally, runs on the other deflection 10 to and is deflected by this again down, where then the other bracket 6 is arranged. Through the two deflection elements 10 are the two brackets 6 on the one hand in the horizontal direction H at a distance A spaced apart so that the vessels 4 do not touch each other. On the other hand, the two brackets by the deflecting elements in the vertical direction V arranged in a defined manner relative to each other, namely in 1 at the same height.

The rope 8th is over the two deflecting elements 10 also moveable and not attached to this. By pulling on one end of the rope 8th This can be done by the deflecting elements 10 be deducted. In this way, the two brackets 6 height adjustable relative to each other. By pulling down or vice versa by pushing upwards can increase the height of a bracket 6 be set arbitrarily. By connecting with the other bracket 6 over the rope 8th will be the height of the other bracket 6 accordingly changed in reverse. As a result, therefore, a total height adjustment, so an adjustability in the vertical direction V , realized.

To prevent an uneven weight load of the two brackets 6 the heavier of the two mounts 6 decreases accordingly and the lighter bracket 6 thereby pulls up the holding system 2 one stop element 12 on. An unequal weight load results for example from the fact that differently heavy vessels 4 in the two holders 6 are used, or that the two vessels 4 For their part, they contain different levels of content, such as plants of different sizes. At an unequal weight load of the two brackets 6 limits the stop element 12 an up or down movement of the brackets 6 due to an uneven weight load. This will be a striking of the lighter bracket 6 , the vessel therein 4 or the contents of this vessel 4 on one of the deflecting elements 10 or to a mounting surface on which the deflecting elements are mounted, avoided. In addition, with appropriate positioning of the stop element 12 a once set relative position of the two brackets 6 maintained to each other despite different weights. The height adjustment is thus by the stop element 12 limited. The two brackets 6 are therefore not completely adjustable in height just because the stop element 12 prevents height adjustment over a certain maximum height difference addition.

As in 1 is recognizable and in the detail view of 2 is shown in more detail, is the stop element 12 on the rope 8th attached and restricts the up or down movement in that the stop element 12 when pulling or pushing the rope 8th to the deflecting element 10 strikes and thereby prevents another move. During a movement or promotion of the rope 8th over the deflecting element 10 So beats the stop element 12 after a certain rope length to the deflection 10 and blocks another movement in the same direction. The stop element 12 thus forms together with the deflecting element 10 a mechanical stop. However, a movement in the opposite direction is possible in the present case, so that the original position can be restored.

In the embodiment shown, the stop element 12 along the rope 8th between the two deflecting elements 10 appropriate. In this embodiment, the height adjustment is then advantageously limited in both directions. When pulling on a respective bracket 6 , beats the stopper 12 then to the corresponding deflecting element 10 at. This is by means of a single stop element 12 realized a two-sided limitation of height adjustment. The maximum height difference corresponds to the principle of the distance A between the two deflecting elements 10 , By appropriate installation of the two deflecting elements 10 at a certain distance A Thus, for a given rope length, the maximum height difference between the two brackets can also be used 6 be set.

In a variant, not shown, the holding system 2 several stop elements 12 on, for example, two stop elements 12 between the two deflecting elements 10 so that the height adjustability is limited to a maximum height difference, which is then less than the distance A between the two deflecting elements 10 , Alternatively or additionally, two stop elements 12 on different sides of one of the two deflection elements 10 arranged so that when pulling on one side of the one stop element 12 on the deflecting element 10 strikes and pulling on the other side accordingly the other stop element 12 on the other side of the same deflecting element 10 strikes. Also in this way is a limitation of the maximum height difference regardless of the distance A between the deflecting elements 10 adjustable.

The stop element 12 is on the rope 8th releasably secured and can be removed as needed and again, for example, at a different position along the rope 8th be attached. In the embodiment shown, the stop element 12 formed as a ring, which in the mounting of the holding system 2 over one end of the rope 8th can be pushed onto this and by means of a fixing element 14 anywhere along the rope 8th is fastened. The stop element 12 is in 3 shown closer. The stop element 12 embraces the rope 8th annular and completely circumscribes this. 3 shows is the fixing element 14 present a grub screw, which in a through hole 16 in the annular stop element 12 einitzt and then perpendicular to the rope 8th is adjustable by the fastener 14 in the through hole 16 is screwed in. Overall, the stop element 12 so on the rope 8th attached is that the stop element 12 when hitting one of the deflecting elements 10 not along the rope 8th shifts, due to the releasable attachment but arbitrarily along the rope 8th is positionable.

The two deflection elements 10 are presently each designed for mounting on a mounting surface not shown in detail, for example, a ceiling or a wall of a room or a cross member or the like. The holding system 2 So depends on a ceiling, so that the brackets 6 and the vessels inserted therein 4 hang down as shown. In a variant, not shown, the deflecting elements 10 mounted laterally.

A deflecting element 10 is in 4 shown in more detail in an exploded view. For mounting, the deflection element 10 one or more mounting holes 18 on, through which appropriate fasteners 20 can be guided in the mounting surface. In the assembled state so are the deflection 10 attached to the mounting surface and thus form two fixed points of the holding system 2 , All other parts and components of the holding system 2 On the other hand, they are basically movable with respect to the mounting surface. In the present case are the fasteners 20 designed as screws, which each have a dowel 22 are mounted in the mounting surface.

In the embodiment shown, the deflection elements 10 each formed as a pulley, as particularly out 4 is recognizable. The deflection roller has a roller holder 24 on, in which a role 26 is rotatably mounted. The role holder serves 24 the assembly, the role 26 serves to guide the rope 8th , How special 4 can be seen, the deflecting element 10 a guide groove 28 for the rope 8th on, with a clear width W which is less than a thickness D of the stoppage 12 so that this the deflecting element 10 can not happen.

5 shows another section of the holding system 2 namely one of the holders 6 with a vessel inserted therein. In the embodiment shown, a respective holder 6 a retaining ring 30 on, in which a vessel 4 can be used. The retaining ring 30 is in 6 shown in a plan view. The container 4 has a downwardly tapered shape and is from above into the retaining ring 30 used. How out 5 becomes clear, is the retaining ring 30 is over several connecting strands 32 with the rope 8th connected, wherein a respective connection string 32 starting from the retaining ring 30 on the rope 8th tapers. Here are for each bracket 6 three connecting strands 32 present, which evenly in the circumferential direction of the respective retaining ring 30 are arranged distributed. The connecting strands 32 run from the retaining ring 30 conical on the rope 8th to and are at this by means of a connector 34 appropriate. The connection piece 34 is in 7 shown in a plan view.

In the embodiment shown, the retaining ring 30 for attaching the connecting strands 32 one holding hole each 36 on which to the inside of the retaining ring 30 is open and in which a respective connection strand 32 can be used laterally. The connecting strands 32 So are formed as separate parts and are in the assembly of the holding system 2 with the retaining ring 30 connected. These are the connecting strands 32 For example, formed thickened end, so each have an end-side thickening, so that the retaining ring 30 corresponding to the ends of the connecting strands 32 rests. Through the retaining holes open inwards 36 are the connecting strands 32 then laterally into the retaining holes 36 can be used, despite the end-side thickening, and are quasi from the inside into the retaining holes 36 hooked. In a variant, not shown, the connecting strands 32 in a different way on the retaining ring 30 attached. The retaining ring 30 is flat overall.

How special 6 can be seen, the retaining ring 30 generally an outer contour AK and an inner contour IK on whose distance from one another a ring width RB of the retaining ring 30 define. The retaining holes open inwards 36 are now designed such that the ring width RB in those places where the holding holes 36 are arranged, is reduced, so that at these points increased deformability of the retaining ring 36 results. In the area of the retaining holes 36 the ring width is reduced by about 60% in the present case. This is the retaining ring 30 divided into several, here three segments, which at the retaining holes 36 are elastically connected to each other, so also a vessel 4 with an outer contour which is not exactly the inner contour IK of the retaining ring 30 Equally safe to use. In the embodiment shown, the inner contour IK of the retaining ring 30 generally circular in shape and gives way only to the retaining holes 36 from the circular shape by the retaining holes 36 one bulge in the retaining ring 30 train in. The outer contour AK is present also circular in shape and has additional dimensions in the region of the retaining holes so that a polygonal, here triangular outer contour AK with rounded corners and notched sides. The segments are each arcuate.

The connection piece 34 now serves on the one hand, the connection of the connecting strands 32 and on the other hand the connection of the rope 8th , The connection piece 34 is formed in the embodiment shown rotor-shaped or cloverleaf-shaped, as clearly in 7 can be seen. The connection piece 34 has a center Z on, from which several arms 38 extend to the outside. In the center is a central through hole 40 arranged, for attachment of the connector 34 on the rope 8th , In the arms 38 each is a lateral through hole 42 arranged, for attachment in each case one of the connecting strands 32 , The through holes 40 . 42 are presently similar and arranged in a common plane. The connection piece 34 is flat overall. The connection piece 34 thus acts as an adapter between the rope 8th and the connecting strands 32 ,

In the figures, between the retaining ring 30 and the connecting strands 32 , between the connecting strands 32 and the fitting 34 and between the connector 34 and the rope 8th no particular type of connection shown, but here are several options into consideration. For example, the rope 8th and the connecting strands 32 each end formed with a thickening, such as a node to safely in the respective central or lateral through hole 40 . 42 or the holding hole 36 to be held.

In 1 is the holding system 2 shown in a mounted state. The items of the holding system 2 namely the two holders 6 , the rope 8th , the two deflectors 10 and the stop element 12 with the fixing element 14 then form a kit.
