摘要

The adjusting shaft has a head portion (11) and a pole (12) connected to the head portion. The pole has a basic shape rotationally symmetrical around a longitudinal axis. The head portion has a locking hook with a locking unit, where the locking hook outwardly projects from the longitudinal axis. A latching unit of a locking hook is oriented towards the shaft. The locking hook has an offset opening (23) through which the latching unit is exposed in the line of vision parallel to the longitudinal axis (c) of the head portion.
