Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3508656A1] The device (11) comprises a first outer element (14') extending along a longitudinal axis (b) and a second outer element (16') hinged to the first outer element (14') for rotation relative to the latter about a first transverse axis (c) in a first operating condition of the device (11). The first and the second outer elements (14', 16') have longitudinal internal cavities (12) accommodating first and second inner elements (14''', 16''') which are hinged to each other for rotation relative to each other about a second transverse axis (c") parallel to, or coinciding with, the first transverse axis (c) when the device (11) is in the first operating condition. The device (11) further comprises locking means (34a, 34b) arranged to prevent relative rotation of the first and second outer elements (14', 16') and of the first and second inner elements (14''', 16'''), respectively, when said elements (14', 16', 14''', 16''' are aligned with each other along the longitudinal axis (b) and when the device (11) is in a second operating condition rotated 180° about the longitudinal axis (b) relative to the first operating condition. The first and second inner elements (14''', 16''') are slidable along the longitudinal axis (b) relative to the first and second outer elements (14', 16') when the device (11) is in the second operating condition.
