The clipping element extends transversely over the recess and rotates around the pivot. On the cylindrical surface of the clipping element there is a keyhole engaged by the lock pin for the lock. Bearers of different size may be fixed on the flat region of the clipping element to adapt to wheel handles of different thickness.
