Description

The present invention relates to a holding device for holding a mobile communication device in an operating position, and a storage system. Mounts for securing mobile devices, such as smartphones, are known in various designs, including mounts on vehicle dashboards, bicycle handlebars, or even on body parts like the upper arms. These mounts can be designed simply to allow for space-saving portability of the mobile device, or to provide the user with optimal visual visibility of screen content and/or input of operating information. Among other designs, some mounts allow a mobile device to be held in a holder in front of the chest or abdomen, enabling the user to view the device's screen content without using their hands. A disadvantage of existing mounts, however, is that their design, tailored to their original purpose, limits them to fulfilling only that specific function. While carrying mobile devices in pockets, such as trouser pockets, makes them easy to transport, it makes their use during physical operations, such as police or military deployments, cumbersome and impractical for the operator. While carrying a mobile device on a chest mount facilitates availability and usability, it also entails an increased risk of damage to the mobile device and/or injury to the operator during physical use. The invention is therefore based on the objective of providing a holding device and a storage system that can be adapted to several different usage situations in a simple and cost-effective manner. This problem is solved by the holding device according to claim 1 and by the storage system according to claim 10. Advantageous embodiments of the holding device are specified in dependent claims 2-9. The holding device according to the invention serves to hold a mobile communication device in an operating position and comprises a fastening element extending only in one plane of arrangement for fixing the holding device to a support structure, as well as a receiving element for receiving and mechanically fixing the mobile communication device. The fastening element and the receiving element are mechanically connected to each other by means of a pivoting device, which allows a pivoting movement of the receiving element relative to the fastening element, so that in a pivoted-out state, the upper surface of the receiving element can be arranged at an angle of 70° to 110° to the plane of arrangement of the fastening element, and in a pivoted-in state, the upper surface of the receiving element can be arranged parallel to the plane of arrangement of the fastening element. “Extending essentially in one plane” means that the fastening element extends between two closely parallel planes, although it is not excluded that small shape elements extend out of this space bounded by the planes. The mechanical fixation of the mobile device causes a blockage of the mobile device along two translational degrees of freedom, and blocks all three rotational degrees of freedom. If necessary, the translational degree of freedom perpendicular to the surface of the mobile communication device facing the eyes of the operator carrying the holding device may also be blocked. In the swiveled position, the top of the receiving element faces the fastening element and runs in a plane or in a parallel plane with respect to the plane of a screen of the mobile terminal device held in the holding device. The holding device allows the receiving element, and thus also a mobile communication device held in the receiving element, to be brought into an operating position in which the top of the mobile communication device can be fully visually perceived by a person carrying the holding device. The mobile device can be, for example, a smartphone or feature phone. The mobile device has a screen on one side and allows for user input on the same side, possibly via capacitive touchscreens. The receiving element can essentially have the shape of a bowl, so that it has side walls with which the edge of the mobile device can be enclosed, these side walls extending slightly onto the top of the mobile device in order to fix the mobile device in the receiving element. Elastic properties of the receiving element allow the mobile device to be placed in and removed from the receiving element. The fastening element can be arranged to be positioned perpendicular to the supporting structure in its plane of arrangement, so that the top of the receiving element is also positioned perpendicularly when pivoted in, and when pivoted out, the top of the receiving element is positioned at an angle of 70° to 110° to the plane of arrangement of the fastening element. This means that, in the swung-out position, the top of the receiving element can be arranged essentially horizontally. In the pivoted position, the top of the mounting element, and thus also the screen of a mobile device held in the mounting element, is positioned close to the mounting plane of the mounting element and may
