Abstract

A holding device including at least one first tilting lever element rotatably mounted at a first pivotal point. This tilting element is connected to a spring element, which may be tensioned with a spring. The tilting lever element includes a first hook, which may be moved into a first position and a second position. In the first position, the first hook may engage, for holding or fixing, in a receptacle of the counter element. In the second position, the first hook releases the counter element again, so that it may be removed from the holding device. The first pivotal point of the mount of the tilting lever element is situated outside the axis of the spring. The spring of the spring element may be tensioned in one position and essentially untensioned in the other position.
