  • Patent number: 8109544
    Abstract: An unlocking device for actuating a control device in the locked condition to release it. The unlocking device has an actuating magnet guided in a coil base and/or in housing elements (28) of the actuating magnet and has an actuating element that can be displaced and that releases, in an actuation position, an unlocking path for a control unit has a locking element (30). The locking element, when unlocked by the actuating element via the control unit, releases the trajectory for the control device to be actuated. The locking device (30) is guided in the housing element (28) of the actuating magnet and prevents the control device from being unintentionally locked again by maintaining it in the unlocked position by a blocking part (48). The unlocked position corresponds to a release of the control device.

  • Patent number: 8052179
    Abstract: An unlocking device for a control device (10) includes an actuating magnet (12) in a coil base (14) and/or in housing elements of the actuating magnet. An actuating element (16) can be displaced along a first axis (20) and releases, in an actuation position, a swivel path (22) for a control unit (24) arranged to swivel about a second axis (26). The control unit (24) has a locking element (30) which, when unlocked by the actuating element (16) via the control element (24), releases the trajectory (32) for the control device (10) to be actuated. The unlocking device also has a swiveling lever (34) guided in a housing part (28) to swivel. The second axis (26) is parallel to the first axis (20). The swiveling lever (34), at its free end and when the actuating magnet (12) is not actuated, contacts the actuating element (16). The locking element (30) is disposed on the other end of the swiveling lever (34) and maintains the control device (10) in the locked position.

  • Publication number: 20090151403
    Abstract: The invention relates to an unlocking device for actuating a control device which is in locked condition in order to release it. Said unlocking device comprises an actuating magnet which, guided in a coil base and/or in housing elements (28) of the actuating magnet, has an actuating element that can be displaced and that releases, in an actuation position, an unlocking path for a control unit having a locking element (30). Said locking element, when unlocked by means of the actuating element via the control device, releases the trajectory for the control device to be actuated. The invention is characterized in that the locking device (30) is guided in the housing element (28) of the actuating magnet and prevents the control device from being unintentionally locked again by being maintaining it in the unlocked position on the same by means of a blocking part (48), the unlocked position corresponding to a release of the control device.
