The present invention proposes an adjuster device (1) having a fixed element (20), an adjustable element (10) and a first locking device, wherein the adjustable element is mounted rotatably around a central axis (2) relative to the fixed element and the adjustable element can be locked relative to the fixed element by the first locking device, wherein the adjuster device comprises a second locking device as a security device, wherein the second locking device comprises an adapter plate (11) and a locking element (21), wherein the locking element is non-rotatably arranged on the fixed element and the adapter plate is arranged rotatably around the central axis, wherein in the locking position a disengaging movement of the non-rotatable locking element along an axis running parallel to the central axis is prevented by the adapter plate, wherein the adjustable element can be driven by the adapter plate and wherein the adapter plate and the adjustable element are configured in such a manner that, during the transition from a locking position into a non-locking position, the adapter plate releases the path of the locking element for the disengaging movement and the adjustable element can be driven in such a manner that the rotation of the adjustable element causes the disengaging movement, wherein the adjustable element can be rotated relative to the fixed element before the disengaging movement is released for the locking element.
