摘要

Locking mechanism has locking element (8) for unlocking mounting plate with first pivotal motion around swiveling and sliding axis (14) from arresting locking position in specific intermediate position by first catch of control elements (9,12,13,15). Locking element is adjusted by energy storing element (18) with a first sliding movement along swiveling and sliding axis in specified arresting unlocking position by second catch of control element. The locking element for locking the mounting plate (5) is adjusted with a second sliding movement, against the force action of the energy storage element, guided against the first sliding movement from the arresting unlocking position in the specific intermediate position by a third catch of the control element. The locking element is then swiveled by the energy storage element with a second sliding movement guided against the first sliding movement around the swiveling and sliding axis in an arresting locking position.
