The unlocking device has an actuating magnet guided in a coil base and/or in housing elements (28) of the actuating magnet and has an actuating element that can be displaced and that releases, in an actuation position, an unlocking path for a control unit has a locking element (30). The locking element, when unlocked by the actuating element via the control unit, releases the trajectory for the control device to be actuated.

The unlocked position corresponds to a release of the control device.
