Abstract:
1. An apparatus for detachably holding a portable electronic device, wherein the apparatus comprises a receiving part for the device and a closure means, wherein the receiving part comprises a base for supporting the device, wherein the closure means is mounted so as to be movable relative to the receiving part, wherein the closure means comprises a lever and a fixing element, wherein the fixing element is arranged on a side of the receiving part opposite the base and movably mounted on the apparatus to permit movement of the fixing element upon movement of the lever away from the base, wherein the fixing element is configured and operable to exert a holding force in the direction of the base onto the device to be held, wherein the lever is mounted rotatably on the fixing element via a first swivel pin, wherein the apparatus further comprises a holding element fixed to the receiving part, a locking element coupled to the lever, and a stop for the locking element, said stop being rigidly connected to the fixing element, wherein the locking element is designed, at a distance from the stop, to block the movement of the closure means relative to the receiving part due to engagement with the holding element, and, when resting against the stop, to release the movement of the closure means in a direction away from the base, wherein movement of the lever in a direction away from the base is operable to exert a force on the stop in the same direction via the lever and via the locking element, causing the fixing element to also be moved in a direction away from the base.
