ABSTRACT:
A holding arrangement includes a pair of elongated branch members forming, for example, a support for a cycle rack, with a pair of links being arranged in a vicinity of lower ends of the branch members for connecting the branch members so as to enable a relative displacement between the branch members. An arrangement is disposed between the lower end portion and the upper end portion of the branch members for displacing the branch members from a closed position to an opened position and for applying a tensioning force to the branch member so as to lock the branch members to an object. The lower end of each branch member is provided with an arrangement for enabling a securing of the branch members to the object upon a displacement of the branch members to the opened position. A holding arrangement is provided on the object for firmly holding the branch members on the object with the holding arrangement including a pair of spaced abutments mounted on the object and defining a receptacle for receiving the lower ends of the branch members in the closed position. The lower ends of the branch members are respectively brought into a abutting relationship with portions of the spaced abutments when the branch members are displaced to the opened position so as to firmly anchor the branch members to the object by the tensioning force applied to the branch members.
