Abstract
A chair for an aerial transport installation comprises a pivoting protective cover actuated by an operating mechanism with automatic latching of the cover in the closed position. An operating lever is pivotally mounted on a first pivoting spindle of the cover and operates in conjunction with a latch actuated by a cable transmission device between a latched position and an unlatched position. The latch comprises a first arm equipped with a latching nose and a second arm designed to come up against a first stop corresponding to the latched position or a second stop corresponding to the unlatched position. The latching zone is situated at the base of the shell, preferably in a gap situated between the first spindle and the second spindle.
