Holding device e.g. tensioning and/or clamping device, for holding articles in production and mounting technology, has guiding path comprises predetermined bent characteristics by pivoting motion of guiding suspension arm

摘要

The device (1) has two coupling elements (42, 43) connected together by a guiding joint (45) in a hinged manner. The sliding joint is movably guided along a guiding path (56) by a guiding unit i.e. guiding suspension arm (44), in such a manner that forced coupling between two holding arms (13, 14) lies with respect to pivoting motions (33, 34) of the holding arms. The suspension arm is arranged at a distance to the guiding joint and is pivotably supported at a base unit (3), so that the guiding path comprises predetermined bent characteristics by a pivoting motion (54) of the suspension arm.
