A body (12), fitted into said seating, which can only rotate, is provided with cam means (16), which engage said tongue (10) and which, as a result of the rotation of said body (12), move from a position which lock the tongue (10) with the shutter (11), to a position in which they enable the free oscillation, to a position in which they pull the tongue (10) and the shutter (11) in order to enable the air to freely pass through it.
