Abstract
The invention relates to a device ( ) for simultaneously interlocking a plurality of actuators ( ) by means of a first locking element ( ) which is assigned to each final control element ( ) of an actuator ( ) and which interacts with a second locking element ( ). The second locking element is fixed inside the housing ( ) in an actuating direction of the final control element ( ) and is displaced into an interlocking position by spring force and into an unlocking position by an assisting force. The invention provides that a plurality of second locking elements ( ) are interconnected and are actuated by a common device ( ). As a result, the variety of parts, the safety risk, the weight, and the constructional complexity are reduced which is very important especially when the inventive device is used in helicopter.
