The present invention relates to a device for retaining at least one container, in particular a case, on a transport unit, containing a retaining bracket to be inserted into a recess of the container, whereby the container is retained by the retaining bracket and fastened on the transport unit, the retaining bracket containing a first and second bearing pin and a first bearing element for receiving the first bearing pin and a second bearing element for receiving the second bearing pin, the first and second bearing pins being rotatable in the particular bearing element about a shared axis, the retaining bracket is positionable reversibly in a first and second plane, the first plane extending essentially horizontally and the second plane extending essentially vertically, and the retaining bracket being insertable into the recess of the container when the retaining bracket is located in the second plane.

BACKGROUND

The transport of containers including tools, in particular cases, from or to construction sites frequently represents a large problem. The containers are often heavy and/or bulky, so that carrying the container over a longer distance and period of time is almost impossible. Transport units, for example, mobile water treatment devices, may be used to convey heavy and bulky tool containers. The devices according to the prior art for fastening the container on the transport unit, for example, water treatment devices, however, are often impractical, since they may be easily damaged if they are used improperly. In particular, if the container is not removed properly from the retaining device, the retaining device may deform or break.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is an object of the present invention to provide a device for retaining at least one container, in particular a case, on a transport unit, using which damage to the retaining device in the event of improper handling may be easily prevented.

The present invention provides a device for retaining at least one container, in particular a case, on a transport unit, containing a retaining bracket to be inserted into a recess of the container, whereby the container is retained by the retaining bracket and fastened on the transport unit, the retaining bracket including a first and second bearing pin and a first bearing element for receiving the first bearing pin and a second bearing element for receiving the second bearing pin, the first and second bearing pins being rotatable in the particular bearing element about a shared axis, the retaining bracket is positionable reversibly in a first and second plane, the first plane extending essentially horizontally and the second plane extending essentially vertically, and the retaining bracket being insertable into the recess of the container when the retaining bracket is located in the second plane.

According to the present invention, it is provided for the water supply device that the first and second bearing elements each include a recess, so that the first and second bearing pins are removable from the particular bearing element when the retaining bracket is located in a removal position.

According to one advantageous specific embodiment of the present invention, it may be provided that the first and second bearing elements each include an elastic component, whereby the width of the recess is changeable on the particular bearing element.

According to another advantageous specific embodiment, it may be provided that a positioning unit is included for securing the retaining bracket in the first or second plane.

According to one advantageous embodiment of the present invention, it may be provided that the positioning unit includes at least one notch and a protrusion corresponding to the notch.

Further advantages result from the following description of the figures. Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the figures. The figures, the description, and the claims contain numerous features in combination. A person skilled in the art will also advantageously consider the features individually and combine them to form reasonable further combinations.
