Abstract:
System (10) for securing and/or controlling the final position of a first rail (14), that can be adjusted in relation to a stationary second rail (12), wherein the first rail interact with at least one retaining element (88, 90) that is acted upon by a spring element (105, 106) and adjustable in relation to a guide element (92, 94) that is rotatable about a stationary first axis (96, 98), said retaining element in turn supporting the first rail in its perspective final position, characterized thereinthat, to the stationary first axis (96, 98) of the guide and retaining element (88, 90, 92, 94), a lever element (74) is pivoted about a second axis (72) which, is connected with the retaining element (88, 90) so as to be stationary and interacts with at least one catch element that extends from the adjustable first rail (14) in such a way that, in the respective final position of the first rail, the retaining element is acted upon by force in such a way that the respective final position can be supported and controlled, whereby the lever element (74) is articulated with the retaining element (88, 90) via a hinged element (84) articulated with the lever element via a third axis (86) which extends parallel to the first and second axes (96, 98; 72).
