Claim:
Solenoid comprising an armature movable in an armature room, a control cone in a bottom region of the armature room, the armature being movable in the control cone, a coil passing current to generate a magnetic field for moving the armature, and the armature acting on an armature bar, a path converter located between the armature and the armature bar, the path converter including at least one compressible spring, and a connection point of the at least one compressible spring and an end of the armature bar being arranged axially shifted at the end of the armature bar with the end of the armature bar and an end of the at least one compressible spring being spaced from each other so that a force of the at least one compressible spring is biased against the end of the armature bar, the path converter having a housing holding the at least one compressible spring and a cylindrical pocket receptacle, the end of the armature bar being located in said pocket receptacle, the pocket receptacle being concentrically mounted almost completely inside the at least one compressible spring for avoiding tilting of the armature bar.
