Abstract

Holding device, comprising a one-part hook body and a one-part baseplate, the baseplate for the bond with an adhesive strip which releases on pulling being designed such that a grip tab of the adhesive strip protrudes beyond the baseplate, the hook body being designed such that it covers over the baseplate and also the grip tab protruding beyond the latter, characterized in that

a) on the baseplate there is a formation, in which

b) at least one spring element is fastened and which

c) has a projection in the collar region, and in that

in the hook body there are formed guides in which the projection of the formation of the baseplate is guided such that

a) the hook body and the baseplate are undetachably bonded to each other,

b) the hook body is released by a movement parallel to the baseplate from the basic position, in which the hook body is anchored on the baseplate and thereby covers over the baseplate and the grip tab of the adhesive strip, and is displaced parallel to the baseplate and

c) the spring element can be used to turn the hook body by up to 90°, so that

d) access to the grip tab is possible.

Claims

1. Holding device, comprising a one-part hook body and a one-part baseplate, the baseplate for the bond with an adhesive strip which releases on pulling being designed such that a grip tab of the adhesive strip protrudes beyond the baseplate, the hook body being designed such that it covers over the baseplate and also the grip tab protruding beyond the latter,

a) on the baseplate there is a formation, in which

b) at least one spring element is fastened and which

c) has a projection in the form of a collar, and

in the hook body there are formed guides in which the collar of the formation of the baseplate is guided such that

a) the hook body and the baseplate are held to each other by said formation

b) the hook body is alternately clamped or released by a movement of the hook body parallel to the baseplate whereby the hook body is, in a first position, anchored on the baseplate and thereby covers over the baseplate and the grip tab of the adhesive strip, and when displaced parallel to the baseplate to a second position becomes lifted away from the baseplate and unclamped and

c) the hook body when in said second position can be rotated up to 90°

, so as to

d) uncover the grip tab.

2. Holding device according to claim 1, wherein said formation is circular.

3. Holding device according to claim 1, wherein the hook body is lifted off of the baseplate by the spring element during the movement of the hook body parallel to the baseplate from said first position to said second position.

4. Holding device according to claim 1, wherein the hook body further comprises a border which laterally encloses and visually conceals the baseplate and the adhesive strip.

5. Holding device according to claim 1, wherein the hook body, the baseplate or both are produced from metal or plastic.

6. The holding device of claim 5, wherein said hook body, said baseplate or both are produced from plastic and said plastic is selected from the group consisting of polyethylene terephthalate, polystyrene and acrylonitrile-butaclene-styrene.

7. Holding device according to claim 1, wherein the holding device comprises an adhesive strip adhesively attached behind the baseplate.
