Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015010707A1] An improved locking system is characterised inter alia in that a locking element (110) can be brought into its locking position in relation to a locking device (120) in only two steps starting from its release position, such that the locking element (110) first runs onto the locking device (120) and is only able to reach its final locking position once an unlocking device has been actuated.
