Abstract (en)

A handling equipment of the swingable lever type comprises an arm rotationally connected to a shaft (18) that extends from a body (10) of the equipment, and a toggle mechanism (33) interposed between the shaft (18) and one end of an axially slidable stem (34). The sliding of the stem (34) is controlled by pressurized fluid control means so as to cause an angular oscillation of the arm between two predetermined end-of-stroke angular positions. The equipment further comprises a device for stopping the oscillation of the arm, including a first engagement member (42, 40) fixed to the body (10) and a second engagement member (40) movable together with the stem (the 34), which members (40, 42) have respective reciprocally facing active surfaces adapted to reach a frontal engagement condition as a result of the transverse movement of one of them with respect to the stem (34), when a pressure drop of the fluid fed to said control means takes place, with the aim of stopping the movement of the stem (34).
