The tensioning element is able to be moved in a direction of the axis of rotation against a force of a spring. The latching lock is able to be removed from a latching position, and return to the latching position as a result of a force from the spring. The securing is able to be actioned by a securing lever arranged on the rotatable tensioning element. A movement of the securing lever is able to action the tensioning element at the same time.
