The two hooking elements are composed of two hooks connected to the load-bearing structure 2 to rotate on a plane parallel to the bottom 3. The mechanism comprises elastic means 23, 24 able to hold the hooks in the locking position and a lever mechanism which can be commanded from outside the drawer 1 to move the hooks. The lever mechanism comprises two connecting rods connected to the hooks and a bar connected to the connecting rods which can be moved from outside the drawer. [ Fig. 7 ]
