摘要

The mechanism has a locking finger (10) occupying locking and unlocking positions and including an end cooperating with a hook (9) carried by a flap (7). The end of the finger has an extension arranged below the hook and presenting an inclined slope. The slope cooperates with a projecting nose (17) of the hook for exerting a force on the flap in a direction to pivot around an axis for disengaging the flap relative to a base of a receiving rabbet (6) that delimits an edge of a housing (5).
