Provision is made that a receiver for a screwdriver blade is provided at the second holder part and a toothed arrangement is provided at the first holder part, or vice versa, wherein at least one tooth of the toothed arrangement projects into the receiver such that it can be acted on by one blade end of a screwdriver blade introduced into the receiver while supporting the other blade end at an abutment section of the receiver to rotate the second holder part with respect to the first holder part about a first pivot axis. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A holder for an optoelectronic sensor, having a first holder part that is configured for a direct or indirect fastening to a fixed-position fixing surface and having a second holder part that can be coupled to a housing of the optoelectronic sensor, wherein the second holder part is rotatable relative to the first holder part about a first pivot axis, wherein a receiver for a screwdriver blade is provided at the second holder part and a toothed arrangement is provided at the first holder part, or vice versa, with at least one tooth of the toothed arrangement projecting into the receiver such that it can be acted on by one blade end of a screwdriver blade introduced into a receiver while supporting another blade end at an abutment section of the receiver to rotate the second holder part with respect to the first holder part about the first pivot axis. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The holder in accordance with claim 1, wherein the optoelectronic sensor is provided as a laser scanner. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The holder in accordance with claim 1, wherein the fixed-position fixing surface is a wall. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The holder in accordance with claim 1, wherein the abutment section comprises two oppositely disposed abutment surfaces which are formed by respective inner wall regions of the receiver. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The holder in accordance with claim 4, wherein the receiver expands, starting from the abutment section, in the direction of the toothed arrangement to provide a free space for a rotational movement of the screwdriver blade. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The holder in accordance with claim 5, wherein the receiver has a fan-shaped shape. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The holder in accordance with claim 5, wherein the free space is dimensioned sufficiently to allow a screwing of a standard screwdriver blade beyond the at least one tooth projecting into the receiver. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The holder in accordance with claim 1, wherein the toothed arrangement has a curved extent. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The holder in accordance with claim 8, wherein the toothed arrangement has a concavely curved extent. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The holder in accordance with claim 8, wherein an extent of the toothed arrangement describes an arc of a circle whose center lies on the first pivot axis. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The holder in accordance with claim 1, wherein the toothed arrangement is configured as an internal toothed arrangement at a marginal section of a cut-out of the first or second holder parts overlapping the receiver. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The holder in accordance with claim 1, wherein the toothed arrangement comprises at least two teeth and at most five teeth. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The holder in accordance with claim 1, wherein the second holder part is releasably fixable to the first holder part. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The holder in accordance with claim 13, wherein the second holder part is releasably fixable to the first holder part by means of a screw connection. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The holder in accordance with claim 1, further comprising a third holder part, with the first holder part being fastenable via the third holder part to the fixed-position fixing surface, and with the first holder part being rotatable relative to the third holder about a second pivot axis. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The holder in accordance with claim 15, wherein the second pivot axis extends at a right angle to the first pivot axis. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The holder in accordance with claim 15, wherein a further receiver for a screwdriver blade is provided at the third holder part and a further toothed arrangement is provided at the first holder part, or vice versa, with at least one tooth of the further toothed arrangement projecting into the further receiver such that it can be acted on by one blade end of a screwdriver blade introduced into the further receiver while supporting the other blade end at an abutment section of the further receiver to rotate the first holder part with respect to the third holder part about the second pivot axis. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The holder in accordance with claim 15, wherein the third holder part is plate-shaped. ### Claim 19 (depends on 1) The holder in accordance with claim 1, wherein the first holder part and the second holder part are designed as hoops plugged into one another with a respective two at least substantially parallel limbs, with the toothed arrangement being provided at a limb of the first holder part and with the receiver being provided at the adjacent limb of the second holder part, or vice versa. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The holder in accordance with claim 19, wherein respective arrangements of a receiver and of a toothed arrangement are provided at both limb pairs of the hoops plugged into one another.
