Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for securing objects. The device comprises a frame and a locking arm, having a pivot end, by which the locking arm is pivotally mounted in the frame and an opposite free locking end. The frame includes a member for carrying the locking arm and surfaces, against which the free end of the locking arm is positioned in a securing position, securing the object lying in between the free end and the surfaces. The free end is removable into a releasing position by pivoting the locking arm. The surfaces are provided to restrict the pivotal motion of the locking arm in one direction of pivoting. The surfaces form a limit stop, forming part of two legs with an interspace betweem them, into which the locking end of the locking arm projects in the securing position. The legs have at least one stop surface limiting the pivoting movement of the locking arm.

Abstract: An apparatus for securing objects comprising a locking arm (6) which is pivotally mounted in a frame (2) and in a securing position is forced against a surface of the frame with the object lying in between and is swung into a released position from the securing position. The surface forms a limit stop for the locking arm (6) which restricts the pivotal motion of the locking arm (6) in one direction of pivoting. The apparatus incorporates devices (7) for rearranging the locking arm in such a way that it is able to swing past the limit stop into a released position.
