Abstract
The disclosure relates to a swivel lever actuator which can be secured by a padlock for the closure of switch cabinet doors or the like, with a dish which is arranged on the outer surface of the door leaf or the like and in which is arranged the lock shaft, wherein an actuating lever is articulated at the free end of the lock shaft as to be swivelable out of the dish about an axis extending transverse to the shaft axis, and with a projection supported by the dish, wherein an eyelet is arranged at the free end of the projection in such a way that when the lever is swiveled into the dish the projection and a padlock inserted through the eyelet prevents the actuating lever from swiveling out. The actuating lever, forms an offset surface in the area of the opening, which offset opening receives the shackle inserted through the eyelet.
