Abstract

A locking bolt (14) is slidably mounted in the external element (1) of the slide. It has side teeth (16) cooperating with holes in this external element and, at its end removed from these teeth, a hole (28) for receiving an actuating pin (32) which also passes through the internal element (2) of the slide. The cross-section of the pin (32) complements the hole of the bolt such that rotation of the pin about itself causes locking. The pin is movable axially and may be disengaged from the bolt so as to allow momentary relative axial displacement of the internal element and return into the previous position indicated by the bolt.
