  • Patent number: 5166802
    Abstract: Locking apparatus wherein the locking of the form-fit structure of locking is divided into two movements with the two directions of being generally perpendicular to each other. In the first movement, the snap-in elements are pre-stressed whereby the final locking does not yet occur. It is only in the second movement in a direction approximately perpendicular to the first movement that the final locking occurs by the locking of the snap-in elements. This division of directions permits the keeping of the movement distance for connection as short as desired even in tight spatial circumstances.
