Abstract
A fastener device (10) provided with attachment means (20) for attaching an external load (5) and with fastener means (30) provided with a support beam (40) and with anchor means (50) for anchoring said support beam (40). A first mechanical coupling (60) connects said support beam (40) to the anchor means (50) so as to enable the support beam (40) to pivot about a first pivot axis (AX1). In addition, coupling means (70) are hinged to the support beam (40) so as to make pivoting possible about a second pivot axis (AX2), the attachment means (20) being hinged to the coupling means (70) to make pivoting possible about a third pivot axis (AX3). This fastener device (10) includes automatic folding means (100).
