1. An anchoring device for anchoring a line, the anchoring device comprising:
a base having an indentation configured to receive a portion of the line in the indentation and defining a curvilinear cavity curved at a first site in a first direction to prevent or limit, in a self-locking manner, said portion of the line from sliding out of the indentation in an extension direction of the indentation; and
a cover which, in an open position, releases the indentation for insertion of the line and, in a closed position, covers the indentation to prevent or limit said portion of the line from sliding out of the indentation transversely to the extension direction of the indentation,
the cover comprising a receptacle portion which, in the closed position of the cover, is arranged at one end of the indentation and extends the curvilinear cavity in such a way that the curvilinear cavity is curved in a region of the receptacle portion at a second site in a second direction running transversely or in an opposite direction to the first direction
wherein:
the receptacle portion extends from a first receptacle portion end to a second receptacle portion end, wherein the first receptacle portion end is directly pivotally connected to the base to rotate about a first pivot axis, and
the cover further comprises a coupling portion that extends from a first coupling portion end to a second coupling portion end, wherein the first coupling portion end is directly pivotally connected to the second receptacle portion end to rotate about a second pivot axis, and wherein the second coupling portion end is configured to be selectively secured to the base with the coupling portion covering the indentation.
