1-17. (canceled)
A retaining element for fastening to an accumulator, the retaining element comprising:
- a first side that includes at least one fastener for fastening to the accumulator;
- and
- a second side that is opposite the first side and that includes:
- a first stop for engaging with a locking bar of a retaining device;
- and
- a blocking element that:
- includes a hook leading away from the second side for engaging with a second stop, which is of the first retaining device;
- and
- has an elastic effect toward the second side.

A device comprising:
- an accumulator;
- and
- a retaining element that includes:
- a first side that includes at least one fastener by which the retaining element is fastened to the accumulator;
- and
- a second side that is opposite the first side and that includes:
- a first stop for engaging with a locking bar of a retaining device;
- and
- a blocking element that:

9 more elements
A retaining device for retaining at least one of a retaining element and an accumulator at least in the vertical direction, wherein the retaining element includes (a) a first side that includes at least one fastener by which the retaining element is fastened to the accumulator and (b) a second side that is opposite the first side, the retaining device comprising:
- a displaceable locking bar that:
- includes a horizontal motion component that is directed toward the second side of the retaining element when the retaining element is inserted into the retaining device;
- and
- is designed to shift between a locked position, in which the locking bar engages with a first stop, which is of the second side of the retaining element, in such a way that vertical movement of the at least one of the retaining element and the accumulator connected to the retaining element is hindered, and an unlocked position, in which the at least one of the retaining element and the accumulator is movable in the vertical direction;
- and
- a second stop for engaging with a blocking element, which is of the second side of the retaining element, to thereby limit the vertical movement, in the unlocked position, to end at the second stop.
3 more elements
A retaining unit comprising:
- a retaining element;
- and
- a retaining device in which the retaining element is inserted;
- wherein:
- the retaining element includes:
- a first side that includes at least one fastener for fastening to an accumulator;
- and
- a second side that is opposite the first side and that includes:
- a first stop for engaging with a locking bar of a retaining device;
- and
- a blocking element that:
- includes a hook leading away from the second side for engaging with a second stop, which is of the first retaining device;
- and
- has an elastic effect toward the second side;
- and
- the retaining device includes:
- a displaceable locking bar that:
- includes a horizontal motion component that is directed toward the second side of the retaining element;
- and
- is designed to shift between a locked position, in which the locking bar engages with the first stop in such a way that vertical movement of at least one of the retaining element and the accumulator connected to the retaining element is hindered, and an unlocked position, in which the at least one of the retaining element and the accumulator is movable in the vertical direction;
- and
- a second stop for engaging with the blocking element to thereby limit the vertical movement, in the unlocked position, to end at the second stop.
19 more elements
A bicycle frame comprising:
- tubes;
- and
- detachably fastened in an interior of one of the tubes, a retaining device for retaining at least one of a retaining element and an accumulator at least in the vertical direction;
- wherein:
- the retaining element includes (a) a first side that includes at least one fastener by which the retaining element is fastened to the accumulator and (b) a second side that is opposite the first side;
- and
- the retaining device includes:
- a displaceable locking bar that:
- includes a horizontal motion component that is directed toward the second side of the retaining element when the retaining element is inserted into the retaining device;
- and
- is designed to shift between a locked position, in which the locking bar engages with a first stop, which is of the second side of the retaining element, in such a way that vertical movement of the at least one of the retaining element and the accumulator connected to the retaining element is hindered, and an unlocked position, in which the at least one of the retaining element and the accumulator is movable in the vertical direction;
- and
- a second stop for engaging with a blocking element, which is of the second side of the retaining element, to thereby limit the vertical movement, in the unlocked position, to end at the second stop.
