Abstract
A device for locking an assembly includes an actuator having a first shape and a second shape, and a locking element. When the actuator has its first shape it moves the locking element into a blocking position in order to block the assembly, and when the actuator has its second shape, it moves the locking element into a release position in order to release the assembly. A system for locking different assemblies is also provided.
