Abstract (en)

A device (10) comprises a housing (12), a shaft (18) rotatably mounted in the housing (12), a sleeve (32) around the shaft (18), and a nut (45) for threaded engagement with an end (31) of the shaft (18) to define with the sleeve (32) a flange lock. Drive means (14, 16) rotates the shaft (18). The sleeve (32) is automatically prevented from rotating with the shaft (18) when the drive means (14, 16) is reversed, such that the nut (45) unscrews from the end (31) of the shaft (19) to release the flange lock. The sleeve (32) is automatically prevented from rotating with the shaft (18) by virtue of a ratchet plate (42) fixed to the housing (12). <IMAGE>
