Abstract

The function of the device is to lock, manually or automatically, separative elements which are mounted so as to be rotatably and/or laterally movable, specifically, doors, windows, partitions, shutters and coverings, which have a base profile which serves to accommodate a support device by which a locking element is retained, which element may be shifted between an unlock position and a lock position in which the locking element engages a receptacle fixed outside the base profile. According to an aspect of the invention, the function of the support device is to support a lever which is provided with the locking element and a head-piece enabling operation in such a way that this lever is retained in a rotatable fashion and is able to be detachably fixed in at least one first position corresponding to the unlock position, and possibly in a second position corresponding to the lock position.
