Abstract
An unlocking apparatus for unlocking locking devices of at least two medical ring instruments, and a sieve basket. The locking devices include cooperating locking elements, and the unlocking apparatus includes a first receiving body with at least two ring receptacles for accommodating first rings of the at least two ring instruments. The unlocking apparatus includes an unlocking body with at least two unlocking elements cooperating with second rings of the at least two ring instruments. The unlocking body and the receiving body are movable relative to one another in an actuating direction such that the at least two unlocking elements engage on and move the second rings relative to the first rings in an unlocking direction that is transverse, in particular perpendicular, to a first ring plane and to a second ring plane for transferring the locking devices from a locked position into an unlocked position.
