The emergency release means comprise: a flexible, integral appendage (6a) of the restraining member or slider (6) which, when the slider (6) is in the working position and the locking member (11) is in the engagement position, can adopt an inactive condition in which it does not interfere with the locking member (11) and an active condition in which it interferes with the locking member (11) so as to bring about its return to the release position, and an operating lever (12) which is integral with at least a portion (3) of the support housing (2) and which can be operated in order to bring about the movement of the appendage (6a) of the restraining member or slider (6) from the inactive condition to the active condition.
