Claim Text:
1. Holding apparatus for a tablet computer ( 100 ), having a lower part ( 14 ) that spans a setup surface ( 12 ) for setting the apparatus up on a table surface and having an upper part ( 18 ), which part has a first and a second contact surface ( 40 , 52 ) for the tablet computer ( 100 ), wherein each of the contact surfaces ( 40 , 52 ) defines a position of the tablet computer ( 100 ) in which it is inclined at an acute angle (α, β) relative to the setup surface ( 12 ), wherein the first contact surface ( 40 ) has two portions ( 42 , 48 ) disposed at a distance from one another, of which a first portion ( 42 ) is the inner surface of a channel ( 44 ), and the second portion ( 48 ) is disposed at a greater height above the setup surface ( 12 ) than the first portion ( 42 ), and wherein the tablet computer ( 100 ) is inclined at a greater angle (α) relative to the setup surface ( 12 ) in the position defined by the first contact surface ( 40 ) than in the position defined by the second contact surface ( 52 ), wherein the upper part can rotate relative to the lower part ( 14 ), about an axis of rotation ( 16 ) that runs essentially perpendicular to the setup surface ( 12 ), and wherein the holding apparatus further comprises a locking device by means of which the upper part ( 18 ) can be locked, relative to the lower part ( 14 ), in at least one preferred position.
