Das Verbindungselement 30 umfasst einen Befestigungsbereich 37, in dem das Verbindungselement 30 mit dem Basiselement 11 verbunden ist. Damit das Verbindungselement 30 zwischen der Verriegelungsstellung und Entriegelungsstellung bewegbar ist, weist das Verbindungselement 30, das vorzugsweise aus einem Metall ausgebildet ist, ferner einen Biegeabschnitt 36 auf. Der Biegeabschnitt 36 befindet sich in Längsrichtung des Verbindungselements 30 zwischen dem Befestigungsbereich 37 und dem Verriegelungsfortsatz 34. Infolgedessen ist das Verbindungselement 30 als Kragarm ausgebildet, der in dem Biegeabschnitt 36 um den Befestigungsbereich 37 gebogen werden kann.The connecting
