Abstract

The invention relates to a safety holder (10) consisting of walls at least partly surrounding the article comprising an insert opening (12) for inserting and removing the article and a safety appliance having a locking element (40) in such a manner that the locking element (40) in the locking position, preferably at the end point of its path, partly covers the insert opening (12), not allowing the removal of the article from inside the holder (10), and, at another part of its path, the insert opening (12) is left unclosed. The characteristic feature of the solution is that the safety appliance comprises a housing (15) with an opening near the insert opening (12) and a fixing element (30) slidably fitted in the housing (15), a locking element (40) connected to the end of the fixing element (30) closer to the insert opening (12), at its end opposite to the locking element (40) the fixing element (30) comprises a flexible blocking tongue (32) protruding inward from the wall of the housing and a blocking eye formed on the blocking tongue (32), in a certain position of the fixing element (30) - at the locking position of its path - the blocking eye fits into the tooth (34) protruding inward from the wall of the housing (15), and a retaining element (50) connected to the fixing element (30) in such a manner that the retaining element (50) can be freely turned away, the retaining element (50) comprises a beaked part (51) and protrusion (54) that can be bent perpendicularly to the plane of the turn of the retaining element (50) due to its flexibility, in a certain position of the fixing element (30) - at the locking point of its path - the beaked part (51) of the retaining element fits in a hole (61) - preferably a locking hole - formed in the side-wall of the housing, while the protrusion (54) of the retaining element (50) is positioned in the area between the outer wall and the shoulder (72) formed inside the housing (15) near the rear wall, while in other positions of the fixing element (30) along its path it is positioned outside an indentation, preferably a locking slot and the area respectively, moreover, the fixing element (30) presses the beaked part (51) of the retaining element against the inner wall of the housing at least in a section of the path of the fixing element (30) before the locking position, moreover, comprises a shoulder on the retaining element (50) suitable for pushing the fixing element (30) towards the opening of the housing (15), and positioned keyholes for the opening device on the back wall of the housing (15).
