Abstract
The invention relates to a holding device 020 for human-medicine or veterinary-medicine applications comprising: a joint between a proximal holding segment 001 and a distal holding segment 017; wherein one axially displaceable thrust element 002, 016 in each case is arranged in the holding segments 001, 017; wherein the joint has a tightening bolt, which defines the pivoting and tightening axis, and has deflection elements, by means of which a thrust force, acting relative to the axis, of the proximal thrust element 002 is deflectable to lock the joint onto the tightening axis and to displace the distal thrust element 016; and wherein the deflection elements comprise at least one ramp system with a wedge body 008. The invention further relates to a holding system comprising the specified holding device and a method for locking the joint of the specified holding device 020.
