Abstract

A device for anchoring a flexible line includes a base having an indentation that receives a portion of the line and a cover. The base defines a cavity curved at a first site in a first direction to prevent or limit the line from sliding out of the indentation. The cover releases the indentation for insertion of the line when the cover is in an open position, and covers the indentation when in a closed position to prevent or limit the received portion of the line from sliding out of the indentation. The cover has a receptacle portion which, in a closed position, is arranged at one end of the indentation and extends the cavity so that the cavity is curved in a region of the receptacle portion at a second site in a second direction running transversely or in a direction opposite to the first direction.

First claim

1 . An anchoring device for anchoring a line, the anchoring device comprising:
a base having an indentation configured to receive a portion of the line in the indentation and defining a curvilinear cavity curved at a first site in a first direction to prevent or limit, in a self-locking manner, said portion of the line from sliding out of the indentation in an extension direction of the indentation; and a cover which, in an open position, releases the indentation for insertion of the line and, in a closed position, covers the indentation to prevent or limit said portion of the line from sliding out of the indentation transversely to the extension direction of the indentation, the cover comprising a receptacle portion which, in the closed position of the cover, is arranged at one end of the indentation and extends the curvilinear cavity in such a way that the curvilinear cavity is curved in a region of the receptacle portion at a second site in a second direction running transversely or in an opposite direction to the first direction.

2 . The anchoring device according to claim 1 , wherein the cover comprises a second receptacle portion arranged at a second end of the indentation in the closed position of the cover, the second receptacle portion extending the curvilinear cavity such that the curvilinear cavity is curved in a region of the second receptacle portion at a third site in a third direction extending transversely or opposite to the first direction.

3 . The anchoring device according to claim 2 , wherein the second direction and third direction are parallel.

4 . The anchoring device according to claim 1 , wherein the base comprises a base plate and three pins extending from the base plate, and the indentation is formed by two spaces extending between the pins.

5 . The anchoring device according to claim 4 , wherein the cover is configured such that, in the closed position of the cover, at least a part of the cover abuts at least one of the pins.

6 . The anchoring device according to claim 1 , wherein the cover is pivotably connected to the base via a cover hinge, and the cover hinge is configured on the receptacle portion.

7 . The anchoring device according to claim 6 , wherein the cover comprises a coupling portion and a remaining part, the coupling portion pivotably connected to the remaining part via a coupling portion hinge, the coupling portion configured to be coupled to the base to be releasable without tools in the closed position of the cover and to prevent or limit said portion of the line from sliding out of the indentation transversely to the extension direction of the indentation.

8 . The anchoring device according to claim 7 ,
wherein the coupling portion hinge defines a first pivot axis with respect to which the coupling portion is pivotable relative to the remaining part of the cover, wherein the cover hinge defines a second pivot axis with respect to which the cover is pivotable relative to the base, and wherein the first pivot axis is parallel to the second pivot axis.

9 . The anchoring device according to claim 7 , wherein the base and the cover are integrally configured, and the cover hinge and the coupling portion hinge are film hinges.

10 . The anchoring device according to claim 1 , wherein the base comprises a sensor accommodation.

11 . A system comprising:
an anchoring device according to claim 1 ; and the line.
