Claim:
1. A lancing device for taking blood samples, comprising a housing, an axially displaceable lancet holder element for holding a lancet, a lancing spring element for accelerating the axially displaceable lancet holder element in a lancing direction, and a release element for initiating a lancing procedure, in which the axially displaceable lancet holder element is accelerated in the lancing direction by means of the tensioned lancing spring element, wherein said lancing spring element is initially tensioned in a tensioning procedure by displacement of an axially slidably mounted tensioning carriage part, wherein the lancing device comprises a locking apparatus for locking said lancing spring element in the tensioning procedure, wherein the locking is actuated by the release element, and wherein the locking apparatus comprises at least one stop part for abutment with at least one locking rib part of the release element, the at least one stop part being arranged on said tensioning carriage part, wherein by said abutment the displacement in the lancing direction of said tensioning carriage part is prevented; wherein a locking movement of the release element moves the at least one locking rib part into abutment with the at least one stop part.
