Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0965677A1] The device (1) includes a support casing (2), a retaining slider (4) mounted in the casing (2) for movement between a working position in which it holds a hook member (A) secure to the door (P) and a rest position in which it allows the said member (A) to disengage from the door (P) to be opened. An electromechanical control device (7) includes a bimetal strip (8) with an associated heating element (12). The strip is coupled to a locking member (13) movable, as a result of heating of the strip (8), from a rest position to an obstruction position in which it prevents the cursor (4) from passing from its working to its rest position. An unlocking member (15) is associated with the locking member (13) and includes a control member (16) mounted on the casing (2) for movement between a rest position in which the locking member (13) is allowed to move and a working position in which it acts to force the locking member (13) to move from its obstruction position to its release position. An electrically-controlled actuator (19) is associated with the said locking member (16) and can be activated to cause the latter to move from its working to its rest position. <IMAGE>
