Abstract: Device holder for clamping long-handled devices subject to gravity, has a carrier to be fastened to a wall, a pair of clamping scissors reversibly pivoted relative to the carrier from horizontal to vertical positions, the scissors having two scissor legs moved relative to each other and rotatably arranged at a bent end on the carrier side. Free legs of the scissor legs cross one another and form a device receptacle. For the device holder to securely hold the device and to remain functional for a long time, in the area of the receptacle the scissor legs are always in a plane having a line of intersection with the clamp carrier plane that is horizontally oriented, and at least one scissor leg limits at least the pivoting motion of the other scissor leg into the clamping position by a stop.

Abstract: The invention relates to a kit of threaded rods and tubes. The object of the invention is to develop a kit of threaded rods and tubes with which many combination possibilities of threaded rods with tubes and of tubes amongst one another is possible. This object according to the invention is achieved in that in a kit consisting of threaded rods and tubes, to a standardised threaded rod there is allocated a tube whose inner diameter envelops the threaded rod at a distance and whose outer diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the tube of the next larger threaded rod-tube allocation.

Abstract: A joint-masking device (10) for joints in wall or floor coverings consists of a base profile (12) with a proud ball head (22) and a masking profile strip (14) with a socket pointing downwards which is formed from two coaxial walls (34, 36) curved into a circular cylinder. The walls (34, 36) extend around the ball head (22) by more than 180.degree., so that the two strips (12, 14) can lockingly engage. The masking profile strip (14) can be pivoted to a limited degree, so that inclined positions are possible.
