The friction brake device (10) cooperates with the cam (14) during the closing movement of the locking mechanisms (1, 2) and shortly before said friction brake device (10) reaches the end stop (13). The cam (14) and the catch (1) each comprise means for reducing noise associated with the closing movement of the locking mechanisms (1, 2).
