Device for holding objects

A device for holding an object, comprising

• a rack main frame;
• a pivot arm pivotable relative to the rack main frame about a pivot axis that extends in a longitudinal direction, the pivot arm including a first strut and a second strut that extend at a right angle to the pivot axis and that are disposed parallel to each other at an offset in the longitudinal direction, an end region of each strut remote from the pivot axis including a cutout adapted to receive a respective fastening shaft;
• and
• a locking unit hingedly connected to the rack main frame and to the pivot arm, the locking unit, in a locked state, being adapted to prevent pivoting of the pivot arm about the pivot axis relative to the rack main frame in at least one of two pivot directions, and, in an unlocked state, adapted to allow pivoting of the pivot arm about the pivot axis relative to the rack main frame in the two pivot directions;
• wherein the locking unit includes an outer pipe, an inner pipe coaxially guided in the outer pipe, and a rotary bolt attached to the outer pipe, the inner pipe including a plurality of locking openings, in the locked state of the locking unit, the rotary bolt being adapted to engage in one of the locking openings of the inner pipe, and, in the unlocked state of the locking unit, the rotary bolt adapted to be outside the locking openings.
