Abstract
An actuating device () actuates a shading system with a string element (). An unintended detachment of a first partial structure () from a second partial structure () in the intended use is avoided as much as possible and a detachment of the first partial structure () from the second partial structure () is possible with low forces for avoiding injuries. The actuating device () includes a first coupling element () that in the released position does not mesh with a second coupling element (), and in the locking position, with an interaction of the first coupling element () with the second coupling element (), a detachment of the first partial structure () from the second partial structure () is prevented because of a positive-locking connection between the first coupling element () and the second coupling element ().
