  • the handle constituting the control member 18 extends horizontally, and the bolts 19, 19 ′ of the rods 15A, 15B both extend away from the corresponding keepers 20 .
  • the pawl 48 ′ carries by its beak 52 on the rod 15A, beyond the end edge 47 ′ corresponding to the notch 46A thereof.
  • the spout 52 of the pawl 48 ′ then engages in fact in the notch 46A of the rod 15A, and it is therefore able to engage with the corresponding end edge 47 ′ thereof in the position of opening.
  • this keeper 20 having itself been in practice the object of a reversal during its passage from the left vertical edge of the frame 12 to the right vertical edge of the latter, the bolt 19 ′ of the rod 15A enters this keep 20 by the entry 25 ′, then turned downwards, from the latter.
  • the rod 15B is also engaged with the associated keeper 20, by the entry 25, then turned upwards, of the latter, while its bolt 19 remains at a distance from this keeper 20 .
