Abstract: In an apparatus that is used to lock the end positions of moveable switch-point parts, in particular a switch-point lock, in which two parts (2, 3) that are moveable relative to each other can be moved in at least one direction of movement in a position in which they are positively locked, the parts that can be moved relative to each other are formed by a tube (2) and a bolt (3) that is axially guided within the tube (2), additional separate lock elements (4) such as, for example, balls or rollers that can be displaced in a radial direction, being used (FIG. 1).
