Abstract

A simple and secure holder for securing and releasing a first and second plug without requiring additional components. The holder includes a slide and a projecting, rigid securing member on the first plug. The rigid securing member is positioned at a distance away from the slide. The holder includes a slide receptacle and a resilient lock on the second plug, with the resilient lock being positioned at a distance away from the slide receptacle. The slide receptacle is configured in such a way that the slide is encompassed by the slide receptacle. A releasable connection is provided between the first plug and the second plug when the slide receptacle receives the slide and the rigid securing member engages the resilient lock locking into a final position. The holder is intended for use, for example, with plugs used in the vehicular industry.
