The reinforcement arrangement comprises a reinforcement body and at least one holding anchor unit. Each holding anchor unit is arranged or attached at the reinforcement body by a foot section. A holding section adjoining the foot section is moveable between a storage position and a function position. In the storage position, the holding section extends directly adjacent along the reinforcement body and abuts the reinforcement body at one or more locations. In the function position, a free end of the holding section opposite the foot section is larger than in the storage position. The holding section can be moved manually or self-acting from the storage position into the function position. The reinforcement body, the holding section, and the foot section are preferably embodied as textile-reinforced elements. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A reinforcement arrangement (15), comprising: a reinforcement body (16) comprising reinforcement elements (18) that cross each other, at least one holding anchor unit (17) comprising a foot section (32) that is arranged at the reinforcement body (16) and having a holding section (33) adjoining the foot section (32), wherein the holding section (33) is moveable between a function position (W) and a storage position (A) and wherein in the storage position (A) the holding section (33) extends along the reinforcement body (16) and in the function position (W) the holding section (33) extends obliquely or orthogonally away from the reinforcement body (16); wherein when the at least one holding anchor unit (17) is in the storage position (A), it is subject to one or both of a pretensioning force (F) and a pretensioning torque (M) such that the holding section (33) is urged toward the function position (W) such that the at least one holding anchor unit will shift from the storage position (A) to the function position (W) absent an external force on the at least one holding anchor unit to prevent such shifting; wherein in the function position (W) the holding section (33) extends obliquely or orthogonally away from a plane defined by a section of the reinforcement body 16 at which the holding anchor unit (17) is arranged or attached via the foot section (32). ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The reinforcement arrangement according to claim 1, wherein each reinforcement element (18) comprises at least one fiber bundle that is embedded in a matrix (20). ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The reinforcement arrangement according to claim 1, wherein individual ones of the at least one holding anchor unit (17) has two holding anchors (38, 39) having a foot part (40) and a holding part (41) that extends orthogonally or obliquely relative to the foot part (40). ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The reinforcement arrangement according to claim 3, wherein each holding anchor (38, 39) is formed integrally. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The reinforcement arrangement according to claim 3, wherein the holding anchors (38, 39) comprises at least one fiber bundle that is embedded in a matrix (20). ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The reinforcement arrangement according to claim 3, wherein the holding part (41) is pivotable about a pivot axis (S1, S2) that is at least partly defined by an extension direction of the foot part (40) of the same holding anchor (38, 39). ### Claim 7 (depends on 3) The reinforcement arrangement according to claim 3, wherein the foot parts (40) of the holding anchors (38, 39) of the same holding anchor unit (17) extend in a common plane. ### Claim 8 (depends on 3) The reinforcement arrangement according to claim 3, wherein the foot parts (40) of the holding anchors (38, 39) of the same holding anchor unit (17) extend at an angle (a) of less than 180° with respect to the holding part (41) of the same holding anchor (38, 39). ### Claim 9 (depends on 3) The reinforcement arrangement according to claim 3, wherein the foot parts (40) of the holding anchors (38, 39) of the same holding anchor unit (17) extend at an angle (a) of at least 90° with respect to the holding part (41) of the same holding anchor (38, 39). ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The reinforcement arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the holding anchor unit (17) comprises a pretensioner (55) that applies at least one of a pretensioning force (F) and a pretensioning torque (M) on the holding anchors (38, 39). ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The reinforcement arrangement according to claim 10 wherein the pretensioner (55) is elastically deformable. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The reinforcement arrangement according to claim 1, wherein a free end of the at least one holding section is located further from the reinforcement body when the at least one holding section is in the function position than when the at least one holding section is in the storage position. ### Claim 13 A reinforcement arrangement (15), comprising: a reinforcement body (16) comprising reinforcement elements (18) that cross each other, at least one holding anchor unit (17) comprising a foot section (32) that is arranged at the reinforcement body (16) and having a holding section (33) adjoining the foot section (32); wherein the holding section (33) is moveable between a function position (W) and a storage position (A) and wherein in the storage position (A) the holding section (33) extends along the reinforcement body (16) and in the function position (W) the holding section (33) extends obliquely or orthogonally away from the reinforcement body (16); wherein when the at least one holding anchor unit (17) is in the storage position (A), it is subject to one or both of a pretensioning force (F) and a pretensioning torque (M) such that the holding section (33) is urged toward the function position (W) such that the at least one holding anchor unit will shift from the storage position (A) to the function position (W) absent an external force on the at least one holding anchor unit to prevent such shifting; wherein individual ones of the at least one holding anchor unit (17) have two holding anchors (38, 39) having a foot part (40) and a holding part (41) that extends orthogonally or obliquely relative to the foot part (40); wherein the holding anchors (38, 39) comprise at least one fiber bundle that is embedded in a matrix (20).
