Patent ID: 7758122

Claim:
A device for locking and/or unlocking a component in relation to a mating element, the device comprising: a locking element having a locking position and an unlocking position, the locking element being arranged about a first axis of rotation; a blocking element having a blocking position and an actuating position, the blocking element being arranged about a second axis of rotation, wherein if the blocking element is moved to the blocking position, the locking element is moved to the locking position, and wherein if the blocking element is moved to the actuating position, the locking element is biased towards the unlocking position; and an ejection element configured to be set into an ejection position and into a clamping position, the setting of the ejection position brings about an unlocking of the mating element by the locking element, and the setting of the clamping position results in a force that acts between the ejection element and the mating element, the ejection element is a plate defining a first hole corresponding to the first axis of rotation and a second hole corresponding to the second axis of rotation, the ejection element is configured to be displaced relative to the first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation when moving between the ejection position and the clamping position, the ejection element is prestressed toward the ejection position by a spring.
