Abstract
Abstract A holding device designed in one piece for hanging up tools is provided with a holding strap and a receiver with at least two elastically springing receiving wings spaced apart from each other, whereby on the contact surfaces of the receiving wings facing the tool, numerous elastically springing barbs are arranged. A relatively economical and lightweight holding device for tools can be made available owing to its one piece design which is nonetheless stable and reliable in holding the tool through a combination of frictional engagement and form fit. The receiving wings are preferably arranged on a receiving plate connected to a holding strap, whereby stabilizing ribs, possibly connected to the base plate, can be provided between the receiving wings. The holding device is universally applicable for all types of tools with openings located on their interior, with or without catching grooves, or for support on the outer surface of the tools.
