  • the closed position corresponds for example to Figures 2 and 3, and the position open in FIGS. 4 and 5 when the blades 1 follow a curve.
  • the front wall 3 has two opposite ends 3a and 3b visible on the figure 1.

  • the means of attachment female 12 has a housing made in one piece with the part lower edge 5 of complementary shape with the rod of rigid material. This housing has an opening towards the outside allowing the insertion of the rod 11.
  • the attachment means female 12 is formed by the lower and upper parts of an edge.
  • the upper part 5a of a module forms the upper part of the means female attachment of said module, the lower part of said means female coupling being formed by a concavity surface 5c directed towards the interior of the female attachment means 12, said projecting surface 5c substantially perpendicular to the lower edge 5b of the module.
  • the housing formed by the surfaces 5a and 5c can thus accommodate a means male attachment 11.
