摘要

Side locking device comprises a pair of locking arms (5) arranged in a housing (1), a slide (2) delimited by inclined holes (16) which interact with and press against the locking arms, and an elastic element (3) which presses against the slide in a predetermined direction. When the slide is operated by the elastic pressing force of the elastic element the locking arms are pulled back. An Independent claim is also included for a side locking system containing the side locking device. Preferred Features: The holes interact with the protrusions of the locking arms forming a reversed V-shape. Parallel regions are formed on the outer ends of the holes and run parallel to the moving direction of the slide.
