Abstract

A laser device 101 including a device housing 116, a measuring apparatus 117 that is at least partially arranged inside the device housing 116, and a first connector 106 that is connected the device housing 116 and that serves to connect the laser device 101 to a holding fixture 102. The first connector 106 has a first magnetic connection element 127, 128 and a first plug-in element 129.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 - 18 . (canceled)

19 . A laser device comprising:
a device housing; a measurer at least partially arranged inside the device housing; and a first connector connected to the device housing and serving to connect the laser device to a holding fixture, the first connector having a first magnetic connection element and a first plug-in element.

20 . The laser device as recited in claim 19 wherein the first plug-in element is a socket.

21 . The laser device as recited in claim 19 wherein the first magnetic connection element includes a permanent magnet.

22 . The laser device as recited in claim 21 wherein the permanent magnet is a cylindrical permanent magnet or a spherical permanent magnet, poles of the permanent magnet being arranged parallel to a plugging direction of the first plug-in element.

23 . The laser device as recited in claim 21 wherein the first magnetic connection element additionally has a ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic element.

24 . The laser device as recited in claim 10 wherein the first magnetic connection element is configured as a ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic adhesion element.

25 . The laser device as recited in claim 19 wherein the first connector has a further first magnetic connection element or a further first plug-in element.

26 . The laser device as recited in claim 19 wherein the device housing includes a base housing and a protective housing surrounding the base housing, the first connector being arranged in the protective housing.

27 . The laser device as recited in claim 19 wherein the device housing is configured in one part.

28 . A holding fixture for attaching a laser device to a holding element, the holding fixture comprising:
a base element; an attachment connected to the base element and serving to attach the holding fixture to the holding element; and a second connector connected to the base element and serving to connect the holding fixture to the laser device, the second connector having a second magnetic connection element and a second plug-in element.

29 . The holding fixture as recited in claim 28 wherein the second plug-in element is configured as a plug.

30 . The holding fixture as recited in claim 28 wherein the second magnetic connection element is configured as a ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic adhesion element.

31 . The holding fixture as recited in claim 28 wherein the second magnetic connection element includes a permanent magnet.

32 . The holding fixture as recited in claim 31 wherein the second magnetic connection element additionally has a ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic element.

33 . The holding fixture as recited in claim 31 wherein the second connector has a further second magnetic connection element or further second plug-in element.

34 . A device system comprising:
a laser device including a housing, a measurer and a first connector; and a holding fixture for attaching the laser device to a holding element, the holding fixture including a base element, an attachment for attaching the holding fixture to the holding element, and a second connector; the first connector having a first magnetic connection element and a first plug-in element, and the second connector having a second magnetic connection element and a second plug-in element, the first and second plug-in elements, when connected, forming a plug-and-socket connection, while the first and second magnetic connection elements form a magnetic connection.

35 . The device system as recited in claim 34 wherein a maximum force of the magnetic connection between the first and second magnetic connection elements is present when the plug-and-socket connection between the plug-in elements is established.

36 . The device system as recited in claim 35 wherein, when the plug-and-socket connection is established, the first and second connectors connect a first contact surface of the laser device to a second contact surface of the holding fixture.
