  • end 3 of the buffer 8 comprising the lock housing 18 being located substantially in the same plane as the one passing through the self-locking arm 30 of the buffer 8 not having a lock housing.
  • the operator To bring the two triangulated panels 8 to their open position represented in figure 14 from their position of closing the opening of the frame 1, the operator first unlocks the bolt 19 of his keeper 20 by means of the key, not shown, of the lock housing 18 and the two pusher means exert respectively on the two studs 17 of the two buffers 8 a thrust force bringing their front edges 8b of the top 8 buffers to an open position allowing the operator to grasp and lift, if necessary using a tool, first of all the front edge 8b of the lock box buffer 8 to rotate, under the assistance of the jacks 22, the buffer 8 in its raised position clearance of the opening of the frame 1 to which it is securely blocked by the self-locking arm 30 as for the first embodiment.
  • the operator grasps and lifts the front edge 8b of the other triangulated pad 8 to rotate it, under the assistance of the cylinders 22, to its raised position of total clearance of the opening of the frame 1 to which the buffer 8 is blocked by the self-locking arm 30 associated with it.
  • the operator To return the two triangulated pads 8 to their closed position of the frame 1, the operator first disengages the lower end of the self-locking arm 30 from the notch of the corresponding guide groove associated with the pad 8 having no lock housing and toggles this buffer to its closed position under the assistance of the cylinders associated with this buffer until the end of the self-locking arm 13 bears on the corresponding stop to allow immobilize the buffer 8 to a half-open security position as for the buffer 8 shown in FIG. figure 5 of the first embodiment.
  • the operator climbs on the pad 8 to exert by his own weight a major force causing the pad 8 to move back to the end wall 3 of the frame 1 through the functional play of hinge hinges adjacent to this wall so that the front edge vertex 8b of the buffer is engaged at least partially in the corresponding corner opposite the articulation hinges defined by two of the side walls 2 and corresponding ends 3 with the stud 17 resting on the pusher means which is partially compressed by the own weight of the buffer.
  • the operator disengages the self-locking arm 30 from the other lock-lock pad 8 from the notch of its associated guide groove and toggles the pad to its closed position under the assistance of the cylinders 22 to the end of the self-locking arm 30 comes to bear on the corresponding stop so as to immobilize this buffer to a half-open security position.
  • the two pads 8 could be brought to their closed position by first tilting the pad 8 without lock housing to its half-open position, then the other pad 8 with lock housing 18 in its half-open position. Then, the operator, by its own weight, exerts a significant pressure on the pad 8 with lock case 18 so as to bring its hypotenuse wall 8d on the tongue 8e of the other pad 8 to drive the studs 17 into their respective diagonally opposite corners of the frame 1 by compressing the means forming a pusher and simultaneously backing the edges 8a of the two buffers towards the end walls 3 to ensure the closure of the frame 1 by the two buffers without their edges before 8b The two buffers 8 are then locked to the frame 1 by the bolt and striker assembly.
