ABSTRACT:
A ball locking mechanism for the releasable locking of a movable part comprises a locking or arresting ball arranged in at least one bore of a stationary or fixed part or component and can be pushed, by means of a slide member, into one of a number of bores of the movable part or element, so that such movable part can be locked in place. For unlocking, the slide member is displaced until a bore thereof comes to lie essentially coaxially with respect to the remaining bores. Then, the ball moves out of the aforementioned one bore of the movable part. The movable part can then be displaced until a further similar bore thereof comes to lie essentially coaxially with respect to the bore of the fixed part. By means of the pressure of a spring, exerted upon the slide member, the ball then is again pushed into this further bore.
