Abstract: The invention relates to an unlocking device for a control device (10), comprising an actuating magnet (12) which, guided in a coil base (14) and/or in housing elements of the actuating magnet, has an actuating element (16) that can be displaced along a first axis (20) and that releases, in an actuation position, a swivel path (22) for a control unit (24) which is arranged so as to be swiveled about a second axis (26). Said control unit (24) has a locking element (30) which, when unlocked by means of the actuating element (16) via the control element (24), releases the trajectory (32) for the control device (10) to be actuated. Said unlocking device is characterized by comprising a swiveling lever (34) which is guided in a housing part (28) so as to be swiveled. 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).
