Abstract
The device comprises a hook (2) connected to the door (5) and a support structure (1) in which is defined an aperture (4) for the introduction of the hook (2) and in which are mounted: a rotatable member (6) biased by a spring (12) and operable to retain a hook in a closure position of the door (5) and to release this hook (2); and a control device (14-16) including a pawl (15). When, with the door (5) closed, a force is applied to the hook (2) in the direction such as to open the door (5), the rotatable member (6) is initially free to turn, against the action of the spring (11), with respect to an auxiliary body (9), to a position in which the rotatable member (6) releases the auxiliary body (9) from the pawl (15, 19), and then to turn, together with the auxiliary body (9) and under the action of the spring (11), to release the hook (2).
