Die Abbildungen Fig. 1a, 2a und 3a zeigen jeweils einen Längsschnitt durch eine Vorrichtung zur Freigabe eines Schlüssels 1, der in der Offenstellung eines Schlosses 2 mittels einer Sperre 3 in dem Schloß 2 gehalten wird. Solche Vorrichtungen werden beispielsweise an Spindschlössern in Badeanstalten und ähnlichen Sportstätten verwendet. Zum Verschließen des Spindschlosses und Abziehen des Schlüssels 1 ist es bei diesen Vorrichtungen notwendig, die Sperre 3 mittels eines Freigabemediums 4 zu entriegeln. Bei einem späteren Öffnen des Spindschlosses mittels des Schlüssels 1 wird das Freigabemedium 4 dem Benutzer zurückgegeben und der Schlüssel 1 wieder mittels der Sperre 3 unverrückbar im Schloß 2 festgehalten.Figures 1a, 2a and 3a each show a longitudinal section through a device for releasing a key 1 in the open position a lock 2 is held in the lock 2 by means of a lock 3. Such devices are used for example in locker locks Bathing establishments and similar sports facilities used. To close the Locker lock and removal of the key 1, it is with these devices necessary to unlock the lock 3 by means of a release medium 4. At a later opening of the locker lock using the key 1 will Release medium 4 returned to the user and the key 1 again held immovably in lock 2 by means of the lock 3.

Wie aus den Abbildungen ersichtlich, besteht bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform die Sperre 3 aus einem ortsfest am Schloß 2 oder am nicht dargestellten Türblatt befestigten Halteelement 5 sowie einem in dem Halteelement 5 angeordneten, den Griff des Schlüssels 1 bildenden Sperrelements 6. Ein großer Vorteil dieser Vorrichtung gegenüber dem Stand der Technik besteht darin, daß das Sperrelement 6 einen Aufnahmeraum 6a für das Freigabemedium 4 aufweist. Aufgrund dieser Ausgestaltung verbleibt das Freigabemedium 4 bei verschlossenem Spind und abgezogenem Schlüssel 1 durch die feste Verbindung mit dem Sperrelement 6 beim Benutzer, so daß dieser das Freigabemedium 4 noch zur Benutzung weiterer Serviceleistungen und dergleichen in der Sport- und Freizeitanlage verwenden kann, wenn das Freigabemedium 4 beispielsweise als Transponder, das heißt elektronisch lesbarer und beschreibbarer Speicher ausgebildet ist.As can be seen from the pictures, the one shown Embodiment the lock 3 from a fixed at the castle 2 or not Door leaf shown fastened holding element 5 and one in the Holding element 5 arranged, forming the handle of the key 1 Locking element 6. A great advantage of this device compared to the stand The technique is that the locking element 6 has a receiving space 6a for the release medium 4. Because of this configuration remains the release medium 4 with the locker locked and the key removed 1 by the fixed connection with the locking element 6 at the user, so that the latter the release medium 4 for the use of further services and the like can be used in the sports and leisure facility, if that Release medium 4, for example, as a transponder, that is, electronically readable and writable memory is formed.

Das Sperrelement 6 besteht aus einem Gehäuse 7 sowie zwei auf der Gehäusegrundfläche 7a angeordneten Rastarmen 8, die um auf der Gehäusegrundfläche 7a angeordnete Drehpunkte 7b verschwenkbar sind. Wie aus den Abbildungen Fig. 1a, 2a und 3a ersichtlich, ist der Aufnahmeraum 6a für das Freigabemedium 4 zwischen der Gehäusegrundfläche 7a und den auf der Gehäusegrundfläche 7a angeordneten Rastarmen 8 ausgebildet. Die Rastarme 8 sind spiegelsymmetrisch als jeweils zweischenklige Kipphebel ausgebildet, wobei der Drehpunkt 7b in Längserstreckung der Rastarme 8 gesehen in etwa mittig angeordnet ist. An den beiden freien Schenkelenden eines jeden Rastarms 8 ist jeweils eine nach außen weisende Rastnase 8a und 8b angeformt, die beim Verschwenken der Rastarme 8 durch entsprechende Öffnungen 7c im Gehäuse 7 aus dem Gehäuse 7 heraustreten können. Zwischen den Rastarmen 8 ist oberhalb der Drehpunkte 7b ein Federelement 9 angeordnet, durch welches die oberen Schenkel der Rastarme 8 auseinandergedrückt werden.The locking element 6 consists of a housing 7 and two on the Housing base 7a arranged locking arms 8, which on the Housing base 7a arranged pivot points 7b are pivotable. How 1a, 2a and 3a can be seen, the receiving space 6a for the release medium 4 between the housing base 7a and the the housing base 7a arranged locking arms 8 formed. The Latching arms 8 are mirror-symmetrical as two-leg rocker arms the pivot point 7b in the longitudinal extension of the locking arms 8 seen is arranged approximately in the middle. At the two free ends of the legs of each locking arm 8 is an outwardly facing locking lug 8a and 8b integrally formed by the corresponding when pivoting the locking arms 8 Openings 7c in the housing 7 can emerge from the housing 7. Between the locking arms 8 there is a spring element 9 above the pivot points 7b arranged through which the upper legs of the locking arms 8th be pushed apart.

Der Schlüssel 1 ist an dem einer Einführöffnung 7d gegenüberliegenden Ende des Gehäuses 7 an einer Schlüsselaufnahme 10 befestigt. Zum Zusammenwirken mit einem auf der Gehäusegrundfläche 7a verschiebbar angeordneten Sperriegel 11 weist die Schlüsselaufnahme 10 eine vom Schlüssel 1 fortweisende Aussparung 10a auf.The key 1 is at the end opposite an insertion opening 7d the housing 7 attached to a key holder 10. To the Interact with a slidable on the housing base 7a Arranged locking bolt 11 has the key holder 10 from Key 1 facing recess 10a.

Wie aus den Abbildungen Fig. 4a und 4b ersichtlich, ist auf der Gehäusegrundfläche 7a eine als vorstehender Nocken ausgebildete Führung 7e ausgebildet, auf der der in Fig. 5 dargestellte Sperriegel 11 in Längsrichtung des Sperrelements 6 verschiebbar angeordnet ist. Im Sperriegel 11 ist eine Aufnahmetasche 11a ausgebildet, in der eine Feder 12 angeordnet ist, durch die der Sperriegel 11 in Richtung auf die Aussparung 10a der Schlüsselaufnahme 10 federbelastet ist. Der Sperriegel 11 ist beim dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel im wesentlichen T-förmig ausgebildet, so auf der Führung 7e angeordnet, daß der vertikale Schenkel 11b des Sperriegels 11 in die Aussparung 10a der Schlüsselaufnahme 10 einschiebbar ist. Weiterhin ist im Gehäuse 7 eine Durchgangsöffnung 7f ausgebildet, die zum Durchziehen eines Haltebandes dient.As can be seen from the figures Fig. 4a and 4b, is on the Housing base 7a a guide designed as a protruding cam 7e formed, on which the locking bolt 11 shown in Fig. 5 Longitudinal direction of the locking element 6 is slidably arranged. In the lock bolt 11 a receiving pocket 11a is formed in which a spring 12 is arranged is through which the locking bolt 11 in the direction of the recess 10a Key holder 10 is spring-loaded. The locking bolt 11 is at illustrated embodiment is substantially T-shaped, so arranged on the guide 7e that the vertical leg 11b of the Locking bolt 11 can be inserted into the recess 10a of the key receptacle 10 is. Furthermore, a through opening 7f is formed in the housing 7 serves to pull a tether.

Wie insbesondere aus den Abbildungen 6a und 6b ersichtlich, sind an der Stirnfläche 2a des Schlosses 2 Führungsstifte 2b angeordnet, die bei vollständig in das Halteelement 5 eingesetztem Sperrelement 6 (Fig. 1a und 2a) in die Aussparung 10a der Schlüsselaufnahme 10 hineinragen.As can be seen in particular from Figures 6a and 6b, the End face 2a of the lock 2 guide pins 2b arranged at locking element 6 fully inserted into the holding element 5 (FIGS. 1a and 2a) protrude into the recess 10a of the key holder 10.

Zur Arretierung des Sperrelementes 6 innerhalb des Halteelementes 5 sowie, um ein Verdrehen des Schlüssels 1 ohne Freigabemedium 4 im Schloß 2 in der Offenstellung zu verhindern, sind in der inneren Mantelfläche 5a des Halteelementes 5 als Längsnuten 5b ausgeformte Aussparungen ausgebildet, in die die Rastnasen 8a und 8b der Rastarme 8 des Sperrelements 6 eingreifen können. Die in der inneren Mantelfläche 5a des Halteelements 5 ausgebildeten Längsnuten 5b sind zur freien Stirnseite 5c des Halteelements 5 durch einen nach innen ragenden Rand 5d verschlossen, um eine Manipulation an den Rastnasen 8a und 8b zu verhindern.For locking the locking element 6 within the holding element 5 and to turn the key 1 without release medium 4 in the lock 2 in the To prevent open position are in the inner lateral surface 5 a Holding element 5 formed as longitudinal grooves 5b recesses, into which the locking lugs 8a and 8b of the locking arms 8 of the locking element 6 engage can. Those formed in the inner lateral surface 5a of the holding element 5 Longitudinal grooves 5b are to the free end face 5c of the holding element 5 by a closed inwardly projecting edge 5d to prevent manipulation of the To prevent locking lugs 8a and 8b.

Insbesondere anhand der Abbildungen Fig. 1a, 2a und 3a wird nachfolgend die Arbeitsweise der voranstehend beschriebenen Vorrichtung zur Freigabe des Schlüssels 1 beschrieben.In particular with reference to the figures Fig. 1a, 2a and 3a is below the operation of the release device described above of the key 1 described.

Fig. 1a zeigt die Vorrichtung in der Offenstellung, in der der Schlüssel 1 über die aus Halteelement 5 und Sperrelement 6 bestehende Sperre 3 unverdrehbar und nicht herausziehbar im Schloß 2 gehalten wird. Das als das Sperrelement 6 und das Schloß 2 umgebende Rosette ausgebildete Halteelement 5 ist dabei so am Schloß 2 bzw. dem Türblatt befestigt, daß der Schlüssel 1 in der Fig. 1a dargestellten Offenstellung allein durch das Schloß 2 gegen Herausziehen aus dem Schloß 2 gesichert ist.Fig. 1a shows the device in the open position, in which the key 1 over the lock 3 consisting of the holding element 5 and the locking element 6 cannot be rotated and is not pulled out in lock 2. That as the locking element 6 and the lock 2 surrounding rosette trained holding element 5 is there so attached to the lock 2 or the door leaf that the key 1 in Fig. 1a open position shown by the lock 2 against pulling out is secured from the castle 2.

Um zu verhindern, daß der Schlüssel 1 über das den Schlüsselgriff bildende Sperrelement 6 innerhalb des Halteelements verdreht werden kann, sind in der inneren Mantelfläche 5a des Halteelements 5 Längsnuten 5b ausgebildet, in die die oberen Rastnasen 8a der Rastarme 8 des Sperrelements 6 eingreifen. Das Zusammenwirken der Rastnasen 8a mit den Längsnuten 5b stellt somit eine reine Verdrehsicherung für den Schlüssel 1 im Schloß 2 dar. In dieser in Fig. 1a dargestellten Stellung ist es somit weder möglich, den Schlüssel 1 aus dem Schloß 2 herauszuziehen, noch den Schlüssel 1 im Schloß 2 zu verdrehen.To prevent the key 1 from being the key handle Locking element 6 can be rotated within the holding element are in the inner lateral surface 5a of the holding element 5 formed longitudinal grooves 5b, in which engage the upper locking lugs 8a of the locking arms 8 of the locking element 6. The interaction of the locking lugs 8a with the longitudinal grooves 5b thus provides a pure anti-rotation for the key 1 in the lock 2. In this in 1a shown position, it is therefore not possible to remove the key 1 pull the lock 2 out, the key 1 in the lock 2 twist.

Die in Fig. 1b dargestellte Vorderansicht der Abbildung Fig. 1a zeigt, wie in der Offenstellung das Sperrelement 6 und somit der Schlüssel 1 in bezug zu den in der inneren Mantelfläche 5a des Halteelements 5 ausgebildeten Längsnnuten 5b angeordnet ist.The front view of FIG. 1 a shown in FIG. 1 b shows as in FIG the open position the locking element 6 and thus the key 1 in relation to those formed in the inner lateral surface 5a of the holding element 5 Longitudinal grooves 5b is arranged.

Bei der in Fig. 2a dargestellten Stellung befindet sich ein Freigabemedium 4 in dem Aufnahmeraum 6a des Sperrelements 6. Durch die Ausbildung der Rastarme 8 als zweischenklige Kipphebel sind die Rastarme 8 bei vollständig eingeführtem Freigabemedium 4 so innerhalb des Gehäuses 7 angeordnet, daß die Rastnasen 8a und 8b nicht aus den Öffnungen 7c des Gehäuses 7 herausragen. Aufgrund des fehlenden Eingriffs der Rastnasen 8a und 8b in die Längsnuten 5b des Halteelements 5 ist es nunmehr möglich, das Sperrelement 6 und somit den Schlüssel 1 im Schloß 2 zu verdrehen, da die Rastnasen 8a und 8b an der inneren Mantelfläche 5a des Halteelements 5 anliegen.In the position shown in FIG. 2a there is a release medium 4 in the receiving space 6a of the locking element 6. By forming the Locking arms 8 as two-leg rocker arms, the locking arms 8 are complete inserted release medium 4 so arranged within the housing 7 that the locking lugs 8a and 8b do not come out of the openings 7c of the housing 7 stick out. Due to the lack of engagement of the locking lugs 8a and 8b in the Longitudinal grooves 5b of the holding element 5, it is now possible to use the locking element 6 and thus to turn the key 1 in the lock 2, since the locking lugs 8a and 8b bear against the inner lateral surface 5a of the holding element 5.

Die in Fig. 2b dargestellte Vorderansicht zeigt, daß sich bei der Darstellung gemäß Fig. 2a der schraffiert dargestellte Sperriegel kurz vor der horizontalen Schließ- und Abziehstellung befindet.The front view shown in Fig. 2b shows that in the illustration 2a the hatched locking bar just before the horizontal Close and pull position.

Um zu verhindern, daß beim Einführen des Freigabemediums 4 in den Aufnahmeraum 6a des Sperrelementes 6 das Freigabemedium 4 nur so weit in den Aufnahmeraum 6a eingeführt wird, bis die oberen Rastnasen 8a der Rastarme 8 außer Eingriff mit den Längsnuten 5b treten, sind auch an den der Einführöffnung 7d nahen freien Schenkelenden der Rastarme 8 Rastnasen 8b angeordnet, die beim Einführen des Freigabemediums 4 nach außen in die Längsnuten 5b gedrückt werden, bis das Freigabemedium 4 vollständig in den Aufnahmeraum 6a des Sperrelements 6 eingeführt worden ist, wie dies der Abbildung Fig. 1c zu entnehmen ist.To prevent that when inserting the release medium 4 in the Recording space 6a of the locking element 6, the release medium 4 only as far in the receiving space 6a is inserted until the upper locking lugs 8a Detent arms 8 disengage from the longitudinal grooves 5b are also on the Insertion opening 7d near free leg ends of the locking arms 8 locking lugs 8b arranged, when inserting the release medium 4 to the outside in the Longitudinal grooves 5b are pressed until the release medium 4 is completely in the Recording space 6a of the locking element 6 has been introduced, as the Figure Fig. 1c can be seen.

Fig. 3a zeigt schließlich das Sperrelement 6 und den Schlüssel 1 in der Abziehstellung bzw. Schließstellung des Schlosses 2. Wie aus der Abbildung Fig. 3b ersichtlich, befindet sich nunmehr das Sperrelement 6 in der in Fig. 2b angedeuteten Endstellung, in der der Schlüssel 1 aus dem Schloß 2 abgezogen werden kann.Fig. 3a shows the locking element 6 and the key 1 in the Pull position or closed position of the lock 2. As from the illustration 3b, the blocking element 6 is now in the position in FIG. 2b indicated end position, in which the key 1 from the lock 2nd can be deducted.

In dieser Abziehstellung des Sperrelements 6 wird der Sperriegel 11 durch die in der Aufnahmetasche 11a angeordnete Feder 12 so weit nach oben gedrückt, daß einerseits der vertikale Schenkel 11b des Sperriegels 11 vollständig in die Aussparung 10a der Schlüsselaufnahme 10 eingreift und andererseits der horizontale Schenkel 11c des Sperriegels 11 formschlüssig zwischen zwei an den Rastarmen 8 angeformten Absätzen 8c anliegt, so daß bei vollständig aus dem Halteelement 5 herausgezogenem Sperrelement 6 die Rastarme 8 nicht zur Herausgabe des Freigabemediums 4 in das Innere des Sperrelements 6 eingedrückt werden können.In this withdrawal position of the locking element 6, the locking bolt 11 is by the spring 12 arranged in the receiving pocket 11a so far upwards pressed that on the one hand the vertical leg 11b of the locking bolt 11 fully engages in the recess 10a of the key holder 10 and on the other hand, the horizontal leg 11c of the locking bolt 11 is form-fitting bears between two shoulders 8c formed on the locking arms 8, so that when the locking element 6 is completely pulled out of the holding element 5 Latching arms 8 do not release the release medium 4 into the interior of the Locking element 6 can be pressed.

In der in Fig. 2a dargestellten Stellung kann der vertikale Schenkel 11b des Sperriegels 11 noch nicht vollständig in die Aussparung 10a der Schlüsselaufnahme 10 eingreifen, da in dieser Stellung noch die Führungsstifte 2b des Schlosses 2 in die Aussparung 10a der Schlüsselaufnahme 10 hineinragen.In the position shown in Fig. 2a, the vertical leg 11b of the Locking bolt 11 is not yet completely in the recess 10a Intervene key holder 10, because in this position the Guide pins 2b of the lock 2 in the recess 10a Insert key holder 10.

Vorteilhaft bei der dargestellten Ausgestaltung einer Vorrichtung zur Freigabe eines Spindschlüssels ist einerseits, daß der Benutzer nach dem Erwerb des Freigabemediums 4 die freie Wahl hat, welchen Spind er benutzen möchte, da jedes Freigabemedium 4 zur Freigabe jeder Sperre 3 geeignet ist. Darüber hinaus ist es bei der Verwendung von Transpondern als Freigabemedium 4 vorteilhaft, daß der fest in dem Sperrelement 6 gehaltene Transponder weiterverwendet werden kann, um andere Serviceleistungen zu nutzen und/oder Speisen und Getränke zu erwerben. Hierzu ist es beispielsweise möglich, bei dem Erwerb des Freigabemediums 4 - welcher vollautomatisch durch einen Kassenautomaten erfolgen kann - einen bestimmten Betrag in dem Transponder abspeichern zu lassen, welcher dann nach und nach bei der Benutzung verschiedener Serviceleistungen und/oder dem Erwerb von Speisen und Getränken abgebucht wird. Ebenso ist es denkbar, in dem Transpondern nur die Benutzung der verschiedenen Serviceleistungen zu speichern, welche dann beim Verlassen der Sport- oder Freizeitanlage zu zahlen sind bzw. vom Konto des Benutzers abgebucht werden. Advantageous in the illustrated embodiment of a device for release A locker key is on the one hand that the user after purchasing the Release medium 4 has the free choice of which locker he wants to use each release medium 4 is suitable for releasing each lock 3. About that it is also 4 when using transponders as release medium advantageous that the transponder held firmly in the locking element 6 can continue to be used to use other services and / or purchase food and beverages. For this it is for example possible when purchasing the release medium 4 - which is fully automatic can be done by a pay machine - a certain amount in the To have the transponder stored, which is then gradually added to the Use of various services and / or the purchase of food and drinks are debited. It is also conceivable in the transponder to save only the use of the various services which then to be paid when leaving the sports or leisure facility or from User’s account.

Um das Freigabemedium 4 wieder zurückzuerhalten, muß das Sperrelement 6 mit dem Schlüssel 1 zurück in das passende Schloß 2 gesteckt werden. Hierzu befindet sich entweder auf dem Sperrelement 6 oder dem Schlüssel 1 eine Kennzeichnung, die ebenfalls am Schloß 2 bzw. am Schrank angeordnet ist. Die Herausgabe des Freigabemediums sowie das Aufschließen des Schlosses 2 erfolgt in der Reihenfolge der Abbildungen Fig. 3a, 2a und 1a. Beim Einstecken des Sperrelementes 6 in das Schloß 2 gemäß Fig. 3a wird der Sperriegel 11 durch die Führungsstifte 2b des Schlosses 2 aus der Aussparung 10a der Schlüsselaufnahme 10 wieder herausgedrückt. Durch diese Verschiebung des Sperriegels 11 wird auch die formschlüssige Anlage des horizontalen Schenkels 11c an den Absätzen 8c der Rastarme 8 aufgehoben, so daß die Rastarme 8 wieder nach innen verschwenkbar sind. Nach dem Verdrehen des Sperrelementes 6 bzw. des Schlüssels 1 zurück in die in Fig. 1a dargestellte Stellung ist es nunmehr möglich, das Freigabemedium 4 nach hinten aus der Einführöffnung 7d des Gehäuses 7 herauszuziehen. Durch die kippbewegliche Lagerung der Rastarme 8 werden die dem Schlüssel nahen Schenkel der Rastarme 8 nach innen verschwenkt, wodurch sich die in der Nähe der Einführöffnung 7d gelegenen Schenkel der Rastarme 8 auseinanderbewegen und das Freigabemedium freigeben. Bis zur vollständigen Entnahme des Freigabemediums greifen dabei die in der Nähe der Einführöffnung 7d gelegenen Rastnasen 8b der Rastarme 8 in die Längsnuten 5b ein, um ein Verdrehen des Sperrelementes 6 bzw. des Schlüssels 1 zu verhindern.In order to get the release medium 4 back, the blocking element 6 with the key 1 back into the matching lock 2. For this is either on the locking element 6 or the key 1 one Labeling, which is also located on lock 2 or on the cabinet. The release of the release medium and the unlocking of the lock 2 takes place in the order of the figures Fig. 3a, 2a and 1a. At the The locking element 6 is inserted into the lock 2 according to FIG. 3a Locking bolt 11 through the guide pins 2b of the lock 2 from the Cutout 10a of the key holder 10 is pushed out again. By this displacement of the locking bolt 11 also becomes the form-fitting system of the horizontal leg 11c on the shoulders 8c of the locking arms 8 canceled so that the locking arms 8 can be pivoted inwards again. After turning the locking element 6 or the key 1 back in the position shown in Fig. 1a, it is now possible that Release medium 4 to the rear from the insertion opening 7d of the housing 7 pull out. Due to the tiltable mounting of the locking arms 8 the legs of the locking arms 8 which are close to the key are pivoted inwards, whereby the leg located near the insertion opening 7d Move locking arms 8 apart and release the release medium. To complete removal of the release medium grab those nearby the insertion opening 7d located locking lugs 8b of the locking arms 8 in the Longitudinal grooves 5b in order to rotate the locking element 6 or To prevent key 1.

In den Abbildungen 7a bis 8b sind zwei Ausführungsformen von Halteelementen 5 dargestellt. Das in den Abbildungen Fig. 7a und 7b dargestellte Halteelement 5 entspricht im wesentlichen dem in den Abbildungen Fig. 1a, 2a und 3a dargestellten Halteelement. Aus den Abbildungen ist ersichtlich, daß bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel das Halteelement 5 nur im Verdrehbereich des Sperrelementes 6 bzw. des Schlüssels 1 an der Stirnfläche 5c den Rand 5d aufweist und auch die volle Bauhöhe ausgebildet ist. Durch diese Ausbildung von teilweisen Aussparungen 5e im Körper des Halteelements 5 werden der Zugriff und die Benutzung des Sperrelementes 6 durch den Benutzer erleichtert. Figures 7a to 8b show two embodiments of Holding elements 5 shown. The in Figures 7a and 7b shown holding element 5 corresponds essentially to that in the Figures Fig. 1a, 2a and 3a shown holding element. From the Illustrations can be seen that in the illustrated embodiment, the Holding element 5 only in the rotation range of the locking element 6 or Key 1 on the end face 5c has the edge 5d and also the full Height is formed. Through this formation of partial recesses 5e in the body of the holding element 5, the access and use of the Locking element 6 facilitated by the user.

Bei dem in Fig. 8a und 8b dargestellten zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel eines Halteelements 5 weist das Halteelement 5 nur in etwa die halbe Höhe des in Fig. 7a und 7b dargestellten Halteelements auf. Bei dieser verkürzten Ausführungsform des Halteelements 5 wird die Verdrehsicherung des Sperrelements 6 innerhalb der Halteelements 5 nur durch die schlüsselnahen Rastnasen 8a der Rastarme 8 bewirkt. Um bei dieser Ausführungsform zu verhindern, daß das Freigabemedium 4 nur teilweise in das Sperrelement 6 eingesetzt und nach dem Verdrehen des Sperrelementes 6 aus der Offenstellung wieder aus diesem herausgezogen wird, sind in der inneren Mantelfläche 5a des Halteelements 5 kurz vor dem Erreichen der Abziehstellung zusätzliche Längsnuten 5b ausgebildet, in die die Rastnasen 8a eingreifen, wenn sich kein Freigabemedium in dem Sperrelement 6 befindet, wie dies in Fig. 9a und 9b dargestellt ist. In the second embodiment shown in Fig. 8a and 8b Holding element 5 has the holding element 5 only approximately half the height of the in 7a and 7b shown holding element. With this shortened Embodiment of the holding element 5 is the anti-rotation of Locking element 6 within the holding element 5 only through the key Latches 8a of the locking arms 8 causes. To in this embodiment too prevent the release medium 4 from only partially entering the blocking element 6 used and after turning the locking element 6 from the Open position pulled out of this are inside Shell surface 5a of the holding element 5 shortly before reaching the Pull-off position formed additional longitudinal grooves 5b into which the locking lugs 8a intervene if there is no release medium in the blocking element 6, as shown in Figs. 9a and 9b.
