The mechanism further comprises a spring element biasing the plunger against the cam element. A locking element is mounted slidably in relation to the cam element, and the locking element is in engagement with the cam of the plunger, when the controlling mechanism is in its locking position. A release button is provided for releasing the locking element from its engagement with the cam of the plunger. <IMAGE> |
