ABSTRACT:
A detent device for locking first and second elements that are movable relative to one another includes a first subassembly connected to a first element and a second subassembly connected to the second element. A first locking mechanism of the detent device can be controlled at will by use of an actuating mechanism. The first locking mechanism is subordinated to a second locking mechanism that acts independently of the first locking mechanism as soon as a threshold value of the relative speed of the two subassemblies of the detent device is exceeded. The second locking mechanism includes a first locking element and a second locking element, the first locking element being functionally associated with the first subassembly and the second locking element being functionally associated with the second subassembly. The first and the second locking elements form a clutch. In addition, the locking mechanism can also have two states of locking actuation.
