摘要

The change lock has a fixed housing (2a) with a cylindrical mounting and a movable latch bolt supported on the control element under the action of a compression spring via a rotatable latching element. The compression spring (14) encloses the bolt (5a) coaxially at least over part of its length greater than the length of the bolt bearing in the housing. The spring is supported between a housing base and a radially offset bolt protrusion (15).
