The lock and the bearing bracket are connected together through an adapter, the adapter and the bearing bracket are connected by a first sliding connection relatively displaceable along a first sliding direction and the lock and the adapter are connected by a second sliding connection displaceable along a second sliding direction, and the two sliding directions are arranged at an angle to each other.
