The rocker is rigidly secured on the latter, and its free end exerts pressure on the spring from below. The spring triggering mechanism is provided with a pedal, a profiled rest, and a cantilever plate having a bulge engaged with the profiled rest. The free end of the triggering plate is in engagement with the triggering lever. The triggering leverage is a four-link hinged mechanism with one of its links engaged with the triggering pedal. The ratio of arms of the pusher and lengths of the clamp-shaped pedal and rocker is 2.0:2.15. The one-way transmission mechanism is a free movement coupling with its shell rigidly linked to the clamp-shaped pedal. EFFECT: convenience in use. 2 cl, 4 dwg
