Abstract

A lock plate is disclosed. It consists of a locking lever 4 with two stable positions on which an intermediary opening lever 14 is mounted so as to pivot. The latter lever avoids being moved through disengagement by means of an outside control lever 17 when the locking lever 4 is in its locked position. In the unlocked position, the hinge axes 16, 13 of the outside control lever and the intermediary lever are superimposed.
