Abstract
The present invention relates to an automatic lock mechanism for foldable systems, where such lock mechanism is used with any kind of foldable system, such as a stretcher that consists of a plurality of panels, where the intelligent lock of each foldable panel is made by a measurement system that determines when the folds are in the desired position, this is, parallel to one another or one after the other, and an electronic lock system that triggers a magnetic lock when panels reach the desired position to create a stiff element from the panels comprising the foldable system.
