1. A device for assisting the opening of a covering element (3), such as a hatch, a plug or a lid, pivotally mounted relative to an edge (2a) of a frame (2) between a lowered position for closing the frame (2) and a raised position for opening the frame, comprising at least a spring actuator (6) connected and jointed through its ends respectively with the covering element (3) and with the edge (2a) of the frame (2), characterized in that the actuator (6) comprises a hollow shaft (7), an end wall (8) of which includes an external yoke (9) connected and jointed with the covering element (3) or with the edge (2a) of the frame (2), a guide pin (10) accommodated in the hollow shaft (7) and connected at its end opposite to the end wall (8) of the hollow shaft (7) to the edge (2a) of the frame (2) or to the covering element (3) through a jointing yoke (11), a spring (13) accommodated in the hollow shaft (7) while surrounding the guide pin (10) and being pre-stressed in the unloaded state all along the guide pin (10) between the end wall (8) of the hollow shaft (7) and the yoke (11) of the guide pin (10), a length portion (10a) of which protrudes from the hollow shaft (7), when the covering element (3) occupies its raised opening position on the one hand and compressed in the hollow shaft (7) between the end wall (8) of the hollow shaft (7) and the yoke (11) of the guide pin (10) when the covering element (3) occupies its lowered closing position on the other hand, and a means (14) secured to one of the ends of the guide pin (10) for retaining the pre-stressed spring (13) in the unloaded state, and in that, during the assisted opening of the covering element (3) by the spring actuator (6), the compressed spring (13) is released in order to cause guided sliding of the hollow shaft (7) by the guide pin (10). |
