Device for establishing a form/force-fitting connection to an object comprising a limb connection system designed to achieve a mechanical attachment to a limb and a mechanical holding mount in which the object can be positioned. A belt mechanically connected to the holding mount is configured to be partially wrapped around the object in the mechanical holding mount to fix the object in a translational degree of freedom. The device comprises a first mounting element connected to the end section of the belt, having an undercut with a hook element open to a direction of a component of a tensile load transferred from the belt into the first mounting element, and a second mounting element complementary to the undercut. The first mounting element can be fixed along the direction of the tensile load by the undercut, enabling the transmission of tensile load from the belt to the device.
A device for establishing a form-fitting and/or force-fitting connection to an object, comprising at least one limb connection system designed to achieve a mechanical attachment to a limb of a person, as well as a mechanical holding mount in which the object can be positioned, such that load transfer from the object to the limb is enabled, and at least one belt mechanically connected to said holding mount, wherein the belt is configured to be partially wrapped around the object positioned in the mechanical holding mount in order to fix the object in at least one translational degree of freedom, wherein the device comprises at least a first mounting element connected to the end section of the belt, having an undercut with a hook element open to a direction of at least a component of a tensile load transferred from the belt into the first mounting element, and further comprising a second mounting element located at the limb connection system and/or at the mechanical holding mount, that is complementary in form and size to the undercut, so that the first mounting element is or can be fixed along the direction of the tensile load by means of the undercut, enabling the transmission of tensile load from the belt to the device.
