Abstract
A locking device for locking a first component to a second component, the device having: a catch element for fastening to the first or second component; a latching unit for fastening to the second or first component; the latching unit comprising a release element; and the release element can be moved between a rest position, which arranges the first latching body in the first latching recess of the catch element and in the receiving opening of the release element, and a release position, which releases the engagement between the first latching body and the first latching recess of the catch element.
Claims12
A locking device for locking a first component, in particular a door leaf, to a second component, in particular to a door frame comprising:
- a catch element for fastening to one of the first or second component, wherein the catch element comprises at least one first latching recess, and
- a latching unit comprising a housing for fastening to the other one of the first or second component, wherein the latching unit comprises at least one first latching body for engagement with the at least one first latching recess of the catch element,
- wherein the latching unit comprises a release element, which comprises at least one first receiving opening for receiving the at least one first latching body,
- wherein the release element is moveable between a resting position, which arranges the at least one first latching body in the at least one first latching recess of the catch element and in the at least one receiving opening of the release element, and a release position, which releases the engagement between the at least one first latching body and the at least one first latching recess of the catch element,
- wherein the catch element is designed as an oblong flat part, and at least one of the at least one first latching recess is provided on a first longitudinal edge of the oblong flat part,
- wherein the latching unit comprises a first linear guide provided on the housing, the first linear guide for displaceably mounting the release element between the resting position and release position, and
- wherein the latching unit comprises a second linear guide provided on the housing, the second linear guide for displaceably mounting the at least one first latching body between a first position engaged with the at least one first latching recess of the catch element and a second position that releases the catch element, wherein the second linear guide extends essentially perpendicularly to the first linear guide.
