Abstract
The invention relates to a locking device comprising a support plate, an annulus in contact with the support plate, a rotary cam housed inside the annulus, a rotary control member, and wheels mounted to move in running paths defined by the cam and the annulus and suitable for preventing the cam from moving in the absence of action taken on the control member. The device further comprises a closure ring having tabs which are secured to the support plate. The annulus, the support plate, and the closure ring are superposed on one another to form a closed housing in which the annulus is prevented from rotating.
