## Abstract

A receiving apparatus for an electronic device is provided, in particular of a machine tool, including a receiving device for receiving the electronic device and a fastening device for connecting the receiving device to a housing of the machine tool. A displacement device is provided which is connected to a displacement mechanism of the receiving device such that the receiving device is displaceable relative to the displacement device, a blocking device being provided which interacts with the displacement mechanism and is coupled to the displacement device, the displacement device being connectable to the housing of the machine tool by the fastening device, and it being possible to secure the blocking device to the displacement mechanism of the fastening device when the fastening device is connected to the housing of the machine tool, and thus a displacement of the displacement device relative to the displacement mechanism can be prevented. The invention also relates to an assembly consisting of a receiving apparatus and a housing.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A receiving apparatus for an electronic device, the receiving apparatus comprising:
a receiving device for receiving the electronic device;
a fastening device for connecting the receiving device to a housing of a machine tool;
a displacement device connected to a displacement mechanism of the receiving device such that the receiving device is displaceable relative to the displacement device; and
a blocking device interacting with the displacement mechanism and coupled to the displacement device, the displacement device being connectable to the housing of the machine tool via the fastening device, the blocking device being securable to the displacement mechanism via the fastening device when the fastening device is connected to the housing of the machine tool to prevent a displacement of the displacement device relative to the displacement mechanism.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The receiving apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein the displacement mechanism is designed as a rail.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The receiving apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein the displacement mechanism is rigidly connected to the receiving device.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The receiving apparatus as recited in claim 2 wherein the displacement device and the blocking device each have a region surrounding the rail.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The receiving apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein the displacement device has two regions each interacting with the displacement mechanism in a longitudinal direction of the displacement mechanism, the blocking device being arranged between the two regions of the displacement device and interacting with the displacement mechanism in the longitudinal direction of the displacement mechanism.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The receiving apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein the blocking device is displaceable relative to the displacement device, perpendicularly to a longitudinal direction of the displacement mechanism in a main extension direction of the fastening device.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The receiving apparatus as recited in claim 6 wherein the blocking device is mounted with a first region inside a second region of the displacement device, with a through-opening for the fastening device being provided in each of the first and second regions.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The receiving apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein the blocking device has a shoulder designed to interact with a head of the fastening device.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The receiving apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein the fastening device is designed as a screw or rivet.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The receiving apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein the displacement mechanism is arranged on a side wall of the receiving device.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The receiving apparatus as recited in claim 10 wherein the receiving device has a further displacement mechanism interacting with a further displacement device, a further blocking device and a further fastening device.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The receiving apparatus as recited in claim 11 wherein the further displacement mechanism is arranged on a further side wall opposite the side wall.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The receiving apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein the receiving device has a planar main body and at least one side wall projecting substantially perpendicularly therefrom.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

An assembly comprising: a housing of a machine tool and the receiving apparatus as recited in claim 1, wherein the housing of the machine tool has at least one screw boss, the receiving device securable to the at least one screw boss via the fastening device, the blocking device and the displacement device.

### Claim 15 (depends on 1)

A machine tool comprising: a housing, and the receiving apparatus as recited in claim 1.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The machine tool as recited in claim 15 wherein the housing has two fastening bosses, the receiving apparatus being arranged on the housing via the two fastening bosses.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The machine tool as recited in claim 16 wherein the two fastening bosses are screw bosses with internal threads.

### Claim 18 (depends on 17)

The machine tool as recited in claim 17 wherein the fastening device includes screws engaging with the internal threads.

### Claim 19 (depends on 18)

The machine tool as recited in claim 18 wherein the screws pass through through-holes in the blocking device and the displacement device.

### Claim 20 (depends on 1)

The receiving apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein the fastening device passes through through-holes in the blocking device and the displacement device.
