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 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 carried by the actuating lever, 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 a padlock inserted through the eyelet prevents the actuating lever from swiveling out. The projection is mounted at the actuating lever so as to be displaceable, rotatable and/or swivelable in such a way that it can move relative to a second projection securely fastened to the actuating lever such that the two eyelets are aligned with one another and a padlock can be inserted through the eyelets.
