Abstract

The locking device comprises a first hook cantilevered out from a rocking pin to support a catch member and bearing against a retractable locking member that opposes rocking movement of the first hook, and a second hook adjacent to the first hook and associated therewith by a link member so that when the first hook is closed, the second hook is kept in a position close to a position in which the second hook supports the catch member.
