Abstract
A lock system (10) for a cabriolet convertible top, with a drive device (12) which actuates at least two lock elements (14, 16). A drive cable (18, 20) which has a core (22, 24) which is suitable for transferring compressive and tension forces is provided between the drive device (12) and each of at least two lock elements (14, 16) for actuating the at least two lock elements (14, 16). Furthermore, a ring bearing for use with the lock system has an annular configuration that facilitates insertion of a locking journal (34) and enables tolerances in the transverse and vertical direction to be accommodated.
