-9. (canceled)
A support apparatus comprising:
- a holding structure configured to form a coupling between a motor vehicle and a carrier system, wherein the holding structure comprises an electromagnet for generating a magnetic holding force as a safeguard against accidental or unauthorized separation of the coupling between the motor vehicle and the carrier system;
- and
- a control unit configured to monitor a charge state of a battery for supplying the electromagnet with electrical power at least when the electromagnet is activated.
A motor vehicle comprising a support apparatus, the support apparatus comprising:
- a holding structure configured to form a coupling between a motor vehicle and a carrier system, wherein the holding structure comprises an electromagnet for generating a magnetic holding force as a safeguard against accidental or unauthorized separation of the coupling between the motor vehicle and the carrier system;
- and
- a control unit configured to monitor a charge state of a battery for supplying the electromagnet with electrical power at least when the electromagnet is activated.
A carrier system, comprising:
- a support apparatus, wherein the support apparatus comprises:
