1. A current meter (1) for the noncontact measuring of currents, comprising a magnetically conducting field receiver (2) having a first receiving element (3) and a second receiving element (4), the first receiving element (3) is movable in a displacement direction (5) relative to the second receiving element (4), and the field receiver (2) is movable from a closed measuring position to an open position in order to receive a cable by activating a handle (6), a movably mounted swivel element (7) having a first leg (8) and a second leg (9), wherein an angle (10) is subtended between the first leg (8) and the second leg (9), the first leg (8) is coupled to the handle (6) and the second leg (9) is coupled to the first receiving element (3), the handle and the first receiving element (3) are movable relative to each other, so that upon activating the handle (6) an activating force engaging with the first leg (8) is generated, and said activating force is converted by the swivel element (7) into a displacement force on the second leg (9), directed transversely to the activating force, so that the first receiving element (3) is moved by said displacement force such that the field receiver moves from the closed measuring position to the open position, a restoring element (14) provided as a pretensioned spring generating a restoring force is mounted so as to turn about an axis of rotation, and the restoring element (14) in the closed measuring position of the field receiver (2) presses the first receiving element (3) with impact against the second receiving element (4) via the second leg (9).
