Description

Technical field

The present invention relates to a system for controlling the use of an exercise by a person in a climbing park. The present invention further relates to a method for operating a system for controlling the use of an exercise by a person in a climbing park.

Background of the Invention

In climbing parks and especially in rope courses, there are regular exercises that may not be used by more than one person at a time. So it can be that an exercise is only designed for the weight of one person and overloading must be prevented.

An exercise can, for example, have a zip line (Flyingfox), which may never be used by two or more participants at the same time, as this can lead to dangerous collisions.

It is therefore necessary to adhere to strict safety rules in climbing parks to ensure adequate safety during the exercises.

WO 2008/049143 A1 discloses a self-securing set with two securing devices which can be suspended in securing points and to which a person is secured. Blocking devices of the attachable securing devices are coupled by means of a communication means, so that a securing means is provided for the attachable securing devices that, when an attachable securing device is attached to the securing point and when the securing means is actuated, blocks the attachable securing device against opening by means of its locking device.

WO 2009/098249 A1 discloses a self-securing device with a securing device which can be attached to a securing means and which secures a person. The attachable securing device has a recess which can be closed for receiving a rope and which can be closed by means of a barrier. The barrier can be unlocked by means of an unlocking element and the recess is released. A locking element blocks the recess. The unlocking element and the locking element are separately or directly attached to the rope. The unlocking element is movable relative to the attached safety device and can be attached to the rope when the recess is released. Furthermore, the attachable securing device with the unlocking element attached to it can only be moved to the locking element in the suspended state. The unlocking element can be attached to the attachable securing device during the locking process.

WO 2014/009392 A2 discloses a method for operating a high ropes course and a anchor device with a current-carrying stop. Anchor points are stretched between trees. The anchor points are, for example, energized ropes. A signal generator is connected to it so that electrical signals can flow through the anchor points. A climber is attached to the anchor points with personal protective equipment (PPE for short). A PSA has a first and a second connecting element (carabiner). The PSA also has a radio module. A first connecting element can be hooked into the anchor point at an entry point. The first connecting element thus detects an electrical signal in the attachment point, which is generated by the signal generator. A central unit receives the signal from the first connecting element and controls a blocking device for blocking or releasing one of the Connecting elements of the PSA, so that e.g. B. after fastening the first connecting element, the blocking device releases the second connecting element.

Presentation of the invention

It is an object of the present invention to provide a monitoring system with which the occupancy of an exercise in a climbing park can be detected.

This task is accomplished with a system for controlling a person's use of an exercise, in particular in a climbing park, and with a

Method for operating the system according to the independent claims.

According to a first aspect of the present invention, a system for controlling the use of an exercise by a person is described in particular in a climbing park (e.g. a rope garden, an adventure forest, a high rope garden, a climbing forest) or in areas of occupational safety. The climbing park has a guide element (for example a steel cable) which extends along a longitudinal direction and along which a person can move between a hanging area of the guide element and a hanging area of the guide element, an identification area being formed in the hanging area.

The system has a securing device for securing a person to the guide element, the securing device being slidably attachable along the guide element between the hanging area and the hanging area. The securing device in the hook-in area can be hooked onto the guide element and can be hooked out of the guide element in the hook-out area.

Furthermore, the system has an identification device which is configured in such a way that by means of the identification device at least one attachment of the security device within the identification area can be identified, so that an occupancy of the guide element with another person can thus be identified.

Furthermore, the system has a security device handling device (hereinafter also referred to as a key device), which can be controlled with the identification device in such a way that the Safety device handling device in a release mode and, if the occupancy of the guide element with another person is identified, in a blocking mode is adjustable. The securing device handling device is coupled to the securing device in such a way that in the blocking mode, a hanging of the securing device in the hanging area and / or a displacement or movement of the securing device along the guide element is blocked.

According to a further aspect of the present invention, a method for operating the system described above for controlling the use of an exercise by a person in a climbing park is described. According to the method, a hanging of the security device within the identification area is identified by means of the identification device, so that an occupancy of the guide element with another person can thus be identified. Furthermore, the securing device handling device is controlled with the identification device in the release mode or, if the guide element is occupied by another person, in the blocking mode.

The climbing park described above describes, for example, a rope garden or the like, in which people can perform various exercises, such as skill exercises or zip lines, at great heights. A person can be in the exercise at a specified time. Corresponding to the exercise, a previous exercise (preliminary exercise) or a subsequent exercise (follow-up exercise) can follow. In other words, a person can first do the previous exercise, then do the exercise, and after performing the exercise, do the subsequent exercise.

The guide element can, for example, be a safety rope which is suspended and tensioned along the exercise. Furthermore, the guide element can also have, for example, a securing rail or a securing chain. The guide element extends, for example, along the entire exercise. For example, the climbing park can have two spaced masts, between which the guide element is attached. The guide element has, in particular at the beginning of the exercise, a hanging area in which the person can hang onto the guide element by means of the securing device. Towards the end of the exercise, the guide element has a detachment area within which the person can detach himself from the guide element.

The securing device serves to secure the person to the guide element. The securing device can, for example, have a hook with which the person can hang onto the guide element. In a preferred embodiment described below, the securing device has a first attachable securing device (e.g. a carabiner element) or a first and a second attachable securing device (e.g. a carabiner element). Additionally or alternatively, the securing device can also be coupled to the guide element for securing the person, for example by means of a magnetic coupling, for example via electromagnets.

The identification device provides the information “exercise occupied” or “exercise not occupied”. The identification device identifies a mounting of the security device within an identification area. The status "Exercise occupied" or "Exercise not occupied" can be set depending on the security requirements of the exercise. For example, a certain type of exercise (e.g. zip lines) can only be performed by one person at a time. Thus, the Output the identification device already after the detection of a person the status "exercise occupied". Other exercises allow, for example, several people to perform the exercise at the same time. In this case, the identification device can determine the passage of a predetermined number of people and can only output the status "exercise occupied" after the predetermined number of people has been exceeded.

The identification area is defined in particular within the hanging area. The identification device can determine, for example, whether a person passes the identification area, so that it can be concluded that the guide element is occupied during the exercise. For example, as described further below, the identification device can have an RFID reading unit. Furthermore, the identification device can also have an (optical light or mechanical) barrier, wherein a passage through the barrier can be identified, so that it can be concluded that the security device is suspended within the identification area. For this purpose, the identification device can also have a camera, so that a passing of the person can be optically detected.

Furthermore, the identification device can have a contact sensor which is formed in the identification area, so that when the securing device comes into contact with the contact sensor, it can be concluded that the guide element is occupied during the exercise.

The identification device can detect, for example via a further RFID reading unit in the area of the display area, a further contact sensor in the display area and / or the or another camera in the area of the display area, that the person has been unhooked or passed through the person in the display area, so that one end of the occupancy of the guide element can be closed.

The securing device handling device (the key device) can be adjusted by the identification device into a release mode and into a blocking mode depending on the occupancy of the exercise or the guide element with one person. If the identification device does not detect any person within the exercise or no person who is coupled to the guide element, the key device is switched to a release mode. In the release mode, the securing device can be coupled to the guide element in the suspension region and / or can be displaced along the guide element.

If the identification device detects a person within the exercise or a person coupled to the guide element, the key device is switched to a blocking mode. In the blocking mode, the securing device in the hanging area cannot be coupled to the guide element and / or cannot be moved along the guide element.

The key device can be integrated in the securing device or coupled to the guide element. For example, the security device can have a security system within the key device, so that in the blocking mode, opening of the security device for coupling to the guide element is blocked. In the event that the securing device has a rope pulley, the key device can be designed, for example, as a rope brake or roller brake in order to prevent rolling and thus displacement along the guide element in the blocking mode. In this case, the security device can have, for example, an (electrically) controllable actuator, which can be controlled by the identification device by wire or by radio. The The security device handler can also be switched to the release mode or the blocking mode by means of a mechanical key pin-key lock system described below. Alternatively, for example, the securing device handling device can have a magnet (electromagnet) which is attached, for example, to the guide element, the magnet being controllable by means of the identification device. The securing device can have a corresponding magnet (electromagnet), which can function as the blocking device explained below. The magnet attached to the guide element as an electromagnet can, for example, be selectively supplied with energy in order to use the blocking device as a magnet to move or block the safety device (or its first or second safety devices) into an open position.

Furthermore, as described in detail below, the key device can be fixed on the guide element. In the release mode, the key device enables the securing device in the hanging area to be coupled to the guide element and to be displaceable along the guide element. In the blocking mode, the key device blocks and prevents the securing device from being hooked into the hanging area on the guide element and / or blocks and prevents the securing device from being displaced along the guide element. For example, in the blocking mode, a stop element can move out of the key device in order to prevent the securing device from moving. Furthermore, as described in detail below, the securing device can have an opening mechanism which is activated or blocked by the key device.

The present invention describes a system which, in particular by means of the identification device, identifies the occupancy of the exercise and controls a key device based thereon which releases or blocks coupling and displacement of the securing device along a guide element within the exercise. This means that multiple occupations can prevent an exercise with too many people. This prevents the exercise from being overloaded and accidents due to a collision of several people during the exercise. With the system according to the invention, safety for people when performing the exercise is thus increased.

According to an exemplary embodiment, the securing device has a rope pulley to which the person is attached. As described above, the key device can, for example, block the pulleys of the rope pulley or block the rope pulley from being hooked onto the guide element if the identification device specifies the status "exercise occupied".

According to an exemplary embodiment, the securing device has a first attachable securing device (e.g. a first carabiner element) to which the person is attached. As described above, the key device can be integrated, for example, in the attachable securing device or in the first attachable securing device and, depending on the occupancy status determined, can block or allow opening or displacement of the attachable securing device with respect to the guide element by means of the identification device.

According to an exemplary embodiment, the securing device has a second attachable securing device (for example a second carabiner element), to which the person is attached. The securing device is designed such that either the first attachable securing device or the second attachable securing device is adjustable in an open position for coupling or decoupling. According to an exemplary embodiment, the key device communicates in particular with the securing device in such a way that opening of the second attachable securing device can be selectively blocked.

According to an exemplary embodiment, the first attachable securing device has a first blocking device and the second attachable securing device has a second blocking device. The first blocking device selectively controls the open position of the first attachable securing device and the second blocking device selectively controls the open position of the second attachable securing device.

The first blocking device and the second blocking device can be designed, for example, as locking pins. In the event that the key device each has a first actuator and a second actuator, which are arranged accordingly in the first attachable securing device and the second attachable securing device, the first actuator controls the first blocking device in release or the blocking mode and the second actuator controls the second blocking device in the release mode or the blocking mode.

According to an exemplary embodiment, the securing device has a coupling means which is coupled to the first blocking device and the second blocking device such that only one of the attachable securing devices or their blocking devices can be set in the open position, while the other blocking device is set in the blocking mode. The coupling means can for example be designed mechanically as a Bowden cable and in each case with the first Blocking device and the second blocking device can be coupled. Furthermore, the coupling means can be designed to be electrically active, pneumatically active or hydraulically active. The coupling means can, for example, be wired or controllable by radio using electrical actuators. Safety devices with a coupling agent are used, for example, in the WO 2008/049 143 A1 and the WO 2009/098 249 A1 described.

According to an exemplary embodiment, the key device can be fixed on the guide rope in the hanging area. The key device has a key pin. At least the first attachable securing device has a key lock which can be coupled to the key pin. The first attachable securing device is configured such that when the key lock is coupled to the key pin, the coupling means controls the second blocking device in such a way that the second attachable securing device or the second blocking device is adjustable in the open position. When the key pin is coupled in the key lock, for example, a spring mechanism or an electrical pulse will be activated, which causes the coupling element to adjust or block the second blocking device in the open position.

According to an exemplary embodiment, the key pin can be adjusted into an active position and into a passive position (for example retractable and extendable), the key pin being able to be coupled to the key lock in the active position and the key pin being coupled to the key lock in the passive position is blocked. In the blocking mode of the key device, the key pin is thus moved into the passive position, so that a coupling with the key lock of the first attachable securing device is blocked. Correspondingly, for example, the coupling means is not actuated, so that the coupling means the second blocking device of the second one that can be suspended Safety device does not release and does not move into the open position.

According to an exemplary embodiment, the key device has an adjustment device for adjusting the key pin, the adjustment device having an electromagnet and / or a servo motor. The adjustment device is coupled to the identification device for signal transmission, so that the identification device controls the adjustment device as a function of the occupancy status of the guide element of the exercise.

According to an exemplary embodiment, as already described above, the identification device has an RFID reading unit which is set up to detect an RFID transponder of the security device or the person in order to identify a passage of the person at the identification device. Using the RFID reading unit and the RFID transponder, for example, a simple passage of person A can be detected. In addition, the RFID transponder can have a certain code that is detected by the RFID reading unit. In this way it can also be determined which RFID transponder is currently passing through the RFID reading unit. In this way, for example, a specific person carrying the special RFID transponder can be identified. This can be used, for example, to determine how often the person has already carried out the exercise. Furthermore, the person can be located in a climbing park by means of a central control unit.

According to an exemplary embodiment, the system has a further identification device. The further identification device is coupled to the guide element in such a way that the safety device can be unhooked within the display area by means of the further identification device, so that the occupancy of the Guide element is further identifiable. The further identification device can be designed with the same exemplary embodiments as were explained above for the identification device.

According to an exemplary embodiment, the identification device and the further identification device are coupled to one another for exchanging signals.

According to an exemplary embodiment, the identification device and the further identification device are coupled to the guide element in such a way that signals along the guide element can be exchanged between the identification device and the further identification device.

Detailed description of exemplary embodiments

The same or similar components in different figures are provided with the same reference numbers. The representations in the figures are schematic.

1 and 2 show a climbing park which has a guide element 111 which extends along a longitudinal direction (for example the direction of use 106) and along which a person A can move between a hanging area 112 of the guiding element 111 and a unhinging area 118 of the guiding element 111.

The guide element 111 is, for example, a safety rope which is suspended and tensioned along the exercise 110. For example, the climbing park can have two spaced fastening masts 114, 115, between which the guide element 111 is attached. The guide element 111 has, in particular at the beginning of the exercise 110, a hanging area 112, in which the person A can hang on the guide element 111 by means of a securing device or a self-securing set 101. Towards the end of exercise 110, the guide element 111 has a detachment area 118, within which the person A can detach itself from the guide element 111.

The climbing park is, for example, a rope garden in which people can perform various exercises 110, 120, 130, such as skill exercises or zip lines, at great heights. In the following, exercise 110 in particular means an exercise in which a person A is at a time described. Corresponding to exercise 110, a previous pre-exercise 120 or a subsequent follow-up exercise 130 can follow. In other words, a person can do the previous one first Complete preliminary exercise 120, then carry out exercise 110 and, after performing exercise 110, carry out subsequent exercise 130.

The previous preliminary exercise 120 has, for example, a further guide element 121 and a web (alternatively also a suspension bridge, flying fox or other climbing park element) 122. A person can thus walk along the web 122 at a greater height and is secured to the further guide element 121 by attaching the securing set 101. For example, a platform 116 is fastened to the fastening mast 114, on which the person A can stand in order to detach from the further guide element 121 and to hang it on the guide element 111.

Correspondingly, the follow-up exercise 130 has a further guide element 131, which extends from the further fastening mast 115 along the direction of use 106. For example, the follow-up exercise 130 can have a further web 132.

A system for controlling use of exercise 110 by a person A in the climbing park is also shown. The system has a securing device 101 for securing person A to the guide element 111, an identification device 102 and a key device 103.

The securing device 101 can be movably attached along the guide element 111 between the hanging area 112 and the hanging area 118, the securing device 101 being able to be hooked onto the guide element 111 in the hanging area 112 and being detachable from the guide element 111 in the hanging area 118.

The identification device 102 is configured in such a way that the identification device 102 can be used to identify at least one attachment of the securing device 101 within the identification area, so that an occupancy of the guide element 111 with another person can thus be identified.

The securing device handling device (hereinafter referred to as key device 103) can be controlled with the identification device 102 in such a way that the key device 103 can be adjusted into a release mode and, when the occupancy of the guide element 111 with another person, in a blocking mode. The key device 103 is coupled to the securing device 101 in such a way that in the blocking mode, a hanging of the securing device 101 in the hanging area 112 and / or a displacement of the securing device 101 along the guide element 111 is blocked.

The securing device 101 serves to secure the person A on the guide element 111. In the exemplary embodiment as in FIG 1 and 2 shown, the securing device 101 has a attachable securing device (for example a karabiner element or a pulley) to which the person A is attached.

The identification device 102 supplies the information “Exercise 110 occupied” or “Exercise 110 not occupied”. The identification device 101 identifies a mounting of the securing device 101 within an identification area.

The identification area is defined in particular within the hanging area 112. The identification device 102 can determine, for example, whether a person A is passing through the identification area, so that an assignment of the guide element 110 can be closed within the exercise 110.

For this purpose, for example, the identification device 102 can have an RFID reading unit which is attached to the first fastening mast 114. Person A or the attachable security device 101 have an RFID transponder. The RFID reading unit is set up to detect the RFID transponder of the attachable security device 101 or person A in order to identify a passage of person A at the identification device 101. Using the RFID reading unit and the RFID transponder, for example, a simple passage of person A can be detected. In addition, the RFID transponder can have a certain code, which is detected by that of the RFID reading unit. In this way it can also be determined which RFID transponder is currently passing through the RFID reading unit. Thus, for example, a specific person A who carries the special RFID transponder can be identified. This can be used, for example, to determine how often person A has already carried out exercise 110. Furthermore, person A can be located in a climbing park by means of a central control unit.

The further identification device 105 is attached, for example, to the further fastening mast 115. The further identification device 105 can detect a detachment of the person A or a further passing of the person A of the detachment area 118 via a further RFID reading unit in the area of the detachment area 118, so that an end to the occupancy of the guide element 111 can be concluded.

The key device 103 is shifted into a release mode and a blocking mode by the identification device 102 depending on the occupancy of the exercise 110 or the guide element 111 with a person A.

In Fig. 1 the identification device 102 detects no person within the exercise 110 or no person, which is coupled to the guide element 111, so that the key device 103 is switched to a release mode. In the release mode, the securing device 101 of the person A can be coupled to the guide element 111 in the hanging area 112 and can be displaced along the guide element 111.

In Fig. 2 The identification device 102 detects the person B within the exercise 110. The key device 103 is accordingly set to a blocking mode. In the blocking mode, the further securing device 201 of the person B in the hanging area 112 cannot be coupled to the guide element 111 and cannot be moved along the guide element 111.

Only when the further identification device 105 has detected a decoupling of the person A from the display area 118 does the identification device 102 control the key device 103 in the release mode, so that the further security device 201 can be attached to the guide element 111 in the attachment area 112.

The further identification device 105 can also determine the occupancy of the further guide element 131 of the follow-up exercise 130.

The identification device 102 and the further identification device 105 are coupled to one another, for example, with a signal line 113 or wirelessly 105 for exchanging signals.

In the example shown, the key device 103 is fixed on the guide element 111. In the release mode, the key device 103 enables the security device 101 in the Attachment area 112 can be coupled to the guide element 111 and can be moved along the guide element 111. In the blocking mode, the key device 103 blocks and prevents the securing device 101, 201 from being hooked into the hanging area 112 on the guide element 111 and / or blocks and prevents the securing device 101, 201 from being displaced along the guide element 111.

Fig. 3 10 shows an exemplary embodiment of a securing device 101 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

The securing device 101 has a first attachable securing device 301 and a second attachable securing device 302. The securing device 101 is designed such that either the first attachable securing device 301 or the second attachable securing device 302 can be adjusted into an open position for coupling or decoupling. The key device 103 communicates with the securing device 101 in such a way that opening of the second attachable securing device 302 can be selectively blocked.

The first attachable securing device 301 has a first blocking device 304 and the second attachable securing device 302 has a second blocking device 305. The first blocking device 304 selectively controls the open position of the first attachable securing device 301 and the second blocking device 305 selectively controls the open position of the second attachable securing device 302. The first blocking device 304 and the second blocking device 305 can be designed, for example, as locking pins.

The securing device 101 also has a coupling means 303, which is coupled to the first blocking device 304 and the second blocking device 305 such that only one of the attachable securing devices 301, 302 or their blocking devices 304, 305 can be set in the open position, while the other blocking device 304, 305 is set in the blocking mode. The coupling means 303 can, for example, be designed mechanically as a Bowden cable and can be coupled to the first blocking device 304 and the second blocking device 305.

4 to 11 show schematic representations of the climbing park 1 and 2 . In contrast to the one in 1 and 2 shown system of the present invention shows the system according to the invention 4 to 11 a safety device 101 according to the embodiment Fig. 3 on.

In Fig. 4 Person A is in a display area of the preliminary exercise 120. Person A is coupled with the second attachable securing device 302 to the further guide element 121. The first attachable securing device 301 is detached from the guide element 121.

In Fig. 5 Person A is on platform 116. Identification device 102 detects that guide element 111 of exercise 110 is not occupied. Correspondingly, the identification device 102 controls the key device 103 in the release mode. Person A couples the first attachable securing device 301 to the guide element 111.

In Fig. 6 Person A is coupled to the first attachable securing device 301 on the guide element 111. Due to the release mode of the key device 103, the person A can attach the second one Remove the safety device 302 from the previous further guide element 121 of the preliminary exercise 120, so that the self-safety set 101 can be moved along the direction of use 106.

In Fig. 7 Person A performs exercise 110 and hangs on guide element 111, for example, with the first attachable securing device 301. In the meantime, person B approaches platform 116. Person B is secured with additional securing device 201. Person B is secured with the second guide element 121 with a second attachable securing device 302 '. The first securing device 301 'is released from the further guide element 121.

In Fig. 8 Person B tries to couple to the guide element 111 of exercise 110. However, the identification device 102 detects an occupancy of the exercise 110 by the person A. Accordingly, the identification device 102 controls the key device 103 in the blocking mode.

Depending on the embodiment, the key device 103 prevents in the blocking mode that either the first attachable securing device 301 'cannot be coupled to the further guide element 111 or the key device 103 in the blocking mode prevents the second attachable securing device 302' from the further guide element 121 of exercise 120 can be solved. Both result in person B not being able to practice exercise 110 as long as the key device 103 is not controlled in the release mode.

In Fig. 9 In the meantime, person A has arrived at further platform 117 and has thus ended exercise 110. Correspondingly, person A couples the second attachable securing device 302 to the further guide element 131 of the subsequent further exercise 130 Ending exercise 110 is detected, for example, by means of the further identification device 105. This information is forwarded from the further identification device 105 to the identification device 102 via the signal line 113.

Correspondingly, the identification device 102 controls the key device 103 into the release mode since the exercise 110 is no longer occupied by person A.

In Fig. 10 Person A is in the course of the further follow-up exercise 130. Person B can now couple the first attachable securing device 301 'to the guide element 111 or release the second attachable securing device 302' from the further guide element 121 of the preliminary exercise 120 due to the release mode of the key device 103 .

Fig. 11 shows person A during the exercise of follow-up exercise 130. Person B can meanwhile carry out exercise 110.

12 and 13 show a key device 103 which is designed for fixing to the guide element 111.

The key device 103 has a key pin 1201. At least the first attachable securing device 301 has a key lock, which can be coupled to the key pin 1201. The first attachable securing device 301 is configured such that when the key lock is coupled to the key pin 1201, the coupling means 303 controls the second blocking device 305 in such a way that the second attachable securing device 302 or the second blocking device 305 is adjustable in the open position. When the key pin 1201 is coupled in the key lock, for example a spring mechanism or a Electrical impulse are activated, which causes the coupling element 303 to adjust or block the second blocking device 305 in the open position.

The key pin 1201 is in an active position (see Fig. 12 ) and in a passive position ( Fig. 13 ) adjustable, especially retractable and extendable.

In the active position, as in Fig. 12 shown, the key pin 1201 is extended and can accordingly be coupled to the key lock.

In the passive position, as in Fig. 13 shown, the key pin 1201 is retracted and coupling of the key pin 1201 to the key lock is blocked. In the blocking mode of the key device 103, the key pin 1201 is thus moved into the passive position, so that a coupling with the key lock of the first attachable securing device 301 is blocked. Accordingly, the coupling means 303 is not actuated, for example, so that the coupling means 303 does not release the second blocking device 305 of the second attachable securing device 302 and does not move into the open position.

The key device 103 has an adjusting device for adjusting the key pin 1201, the adjusting device having an electromagnet 1202. The adjustment device is coupled to the identification device 102 for signal transmission, for example by means of a transmission line 1205, so that the identification device 102 controls the adjustment device as a function of the occupancy status of the guide element 111 of exercise 110.

For this purpose, the adjustment device has, for example, a guide piston 1204, which moves along an adjustment direction by means of the electromagnets 1202 can be adjusted. The guide piston 1204 can, for example, have a guide groove in which the key pin 1201 is attached. The depth of the guide groove can vary along the direction of adjustment. The key pin 1201 can be pressed into the guide groove, for example by means of a spring mechanism, the key pin 1201 being retractable and extendable when the guide piston 1204 is adjusted along the direction of adjustment. In particular, the key pin 1201 can be retracted and extended along an insertion direction that is orthogonal to the displacement direction of the guide piston 1204.

Furthermore, the key device 103 can have a recess 1203 in which the first attachable securing device 301 can be inserted until the first attachable securing device 301 is adjusted in a coupling position so that the key pin 1201 can be penetrated into the key lock in the release mode. The recess 1203 thus serves as a guide link for the first attachable securing device 301.
