Claim Text:
1. A device holder for clamping long-handled devices wherein the device holder is gravity dependent, comprising a clamp carrier adapted to be fastened to a wall or a retaining profile, a pair of clamping scissors that can be reversibly pivoted with respect to the clamp carrier from a horizontal clamping position to a vertical opening position, said pair of clamping scissors comprising two scissor legs, each leg having a bent end and a free end, wherein the bent ends are mounted to opposing sides of the clamp carrier, the two scissor legs movable relative to each other and rotatably arranged in the clamp carrier at the bent ends, a first one of the two scissor legs comprises an integral projecting portion that extends above and below a diameter of the first one of the two scissor legs and defines an oblong hole that is substantially aligned with a central axis of the first one of the two scissor legs, a second one of the two scissor legs penetrating the first one of the two scissor legs through the oblong hole wherein the legs cross one another and form a device receptacle there between characterized in that the receptacle and the free ends of the scissor legs lie in a plane whose line of intersection with a plane of the clamp carrier is horizontally oriented when the scissor legs are in the horizontal clamping position, and that the first one of the two scissor legs forms a motion link for the second one of the two scissor legs and limits pivoting motion of the second one of the two scissor legs into the clamping position by means of a stop.
