    "1. System for holding at least one object to be held in a building shaft structure, comprising: a holding device, which in turn comprises at least a first holding device element having a holding portion for holding the holding device on the building shaft structure and at least a second holding device element having a second holding portion for holding the holding device on the building shaft structure, wherein at least the second holding device element is movably mounted between a first operating position, in which the holding device can be or is held on a building shaft structure by means of the second holding device element, and a second operating position, in which the holding device cannot be or is not held on the building shaft structure by means of the second holding device element, wherein the second holding device element - is pivotably mounted particularly relative to the first holding device element, wherein a first pivot position of the second holding device element - correlates with the first operating position of the second holding device element, and a second pivot position of the second holding device element correlates with the second operating position of the second holding device element; wherein the first or the second holding device elements are rods or struts; further comprising at least one fastening interface arranged or formed on the first or second holding device element for releasably fastening at least one object to be held in the building shaft structure; further comprising a setting device which can be or is assigned to the holding device for inserting the holding device into the building shaft structure; wherein the setting device comprises at least one first coupling element forming art of a first coupling interface for the, particularly releasable, coupling of the setting device to the holding device, and the holding device comprises at least one first counter-coupling element forming part of a first counter-coupling interface corresponding to the coupling interface on the side of the setting device; further comprising a pressure or pulling device on a side of the setting device, which comprises at least one pressure or tension element via which in the state coupled to a counter-coupling element, a compressive or tensile force can be exerted which acts on the second holding device element.",
    "2. System according to claim 1, wherein the second holding device element comprises at least two holding device element segments, particularly designed like an articulated leg, wherein the at least two holding device element segments are pivotably mounted relative to one another, particularly by means of at least one joint device coupling in an articulated manner, wherein a first pivot position of the holding device element segments correlates with the first operating position of the second holding device element, and a second pivot position of the holding device element segments correlates with the second operating position of the second holding device element.",
    "3. System according to claim 1, wherein the second holding device element comprises at least two, particularly telescopically arranged, holding device element segments, wherein one holding device element segment is movably mounted relative to at least one further holding device element segment, particularly telescopically, between an extended position and a retracted position, wherein the extended position correlates with the first operating position of the second holding device element, and the retracted position correlates with the second operating position of the second holding device element.",
    "4. System according to claim 1, wherein the second holding device element comprises at least two, particularly telescopically arranged, holding device element segments, wherein one holding device element segment is movably mounted in a continuous manner, particularly telescopically, relative to at least one further holding device element segment.",
    "5. System according to claim 3, further comprising at least one locking device which can be or is assigned to the second holding device element, which is designed to lock the holding device element segment movably mounted relative to at least one further holding device element segment in any position relative to at least one further holding device element.",
    "6. System according to claim 1, wherein the first or the second holding portion is provided with a, particularly three-dimensional, surface structuring that increases a holding force that holds the holding device in the building shaft structure.",
    "7. System according to claim 1, further comprising at least one tensioning device assigned to the second holding device element, which is designed to generate a tensioning force that braces the second holding device element against the building shaft structure in the first operating position.",
    "8. System according to claim 1, wherein the setting device comprises at least one second coupling element, which forms part of a second coupling interface, for the, particularly releasable, coupling of the setting device to the holding device, particularly to the second holding device element.",
    "9. System according to claim 1, wherein the setting device comprises a setting device element, on which at least the at least one first or second coupling element is arranged or formed.",
    "10. System according to claim 1, further comprising a detection device which is designed to detect the first or second operating position of the second holding device element and to generate detection information describing the first or second operating position of the second holding device element.",
    "11. Method for introducing a holding device of a system according to claim 1 into the building shaft structure, comprising the steps: introducing a holding device into the building shaft structure, wherein the second holding device element of the holding device is moved to the second operating position, transferring the second holding device element from the second operating position to the first operating position, while forming an attachment of the holding device in the building structure.",
    "12. Method for removing a holding device of a system according to claim 1 from the building shaft structure, comprising the steps: transferring the second holding device element from the first operating position to the second operating position, while releasing an attachment of the holding device in the building shaft structure, removing the holding device from the building shaft structure, wherein the second holding device element of the holding device is moved to the second operating position."

  "description_excerpt": "The invention relates to a system for holding at least one object to be held in a shaft-type building structure.\n\nCorresponding systems for holding at least one object to be held in a shaft-type building structure are basically known. The function of corresponding systems is that of holding objects to be held in a shaft-type building structure, e.g., in a sewer shaft forming part of a sewer system, in a stable manner in the respective shaft-type building structure. Corresponding systems are used, e.g., in the field of sewer technology, particularly sewer tunnel technology because objects are frequently to be held in such shaft-type building structures.\n\nUp to now, corresponding systems have regularly been designed from a functional or constructive point of view such that holding an object in a shaft-type building structure, which is possible with the systems, is sometimes associated with considerable expenditures of labor and personnel. Specifically, holding objects to be held in a shaft-type building structure by means of conventional systems has to date regularly required a manual attachment of the respective objects in a shaft-type building structure, for which at least one person has to climb into the shaft-type building structure, attach the respective object, e.g., by screwing said object to the shaft-type building structure, which requires drilling into to the shaft-type building structure, and subsequently climb out again of the shaft-type building structure.",
