Abstract
The expanding ball-type locking pin device (30, 31, 33) is equipped with a control (40) which comprises a lever (42) which exhibits an operating hand grip (421) and an articulation (422) associated with a casing (20) to allow it to turn about an axis parallel to a given direction (.DELTA.) between an unlocked position and a locked position and which bears a link so as to be able to move the needle (33) between its two positions, and furthermore comprises a safety feature (51, 52, 53, 54) coupled to the lever (42) and intended to interact with an underframe (P) to prevent a seat from being tipped into the opened-out position as long as a lock bolt (30) is not locked onto a striker plate.
