Provided here is at least one actuating element (6, 8) for disengaging and/or free-switching of the normal side of the drafting head (1), and one actuating element (10) for locking the normal side of the drafting head (1). Actuating element (10) for locking is arranged on the gripping member (4) such that it rests against the inner surface of the ball of the thumb of the user hand resting on the gripping member (4). Preferably the actuating element (6, 8) for disengaging and/or free-switching can be disposed within the gripping range of the user hand resting on the gripping member (4).
